“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.”

Passion is the great equalizer. It can make up for a lack of experience and knowledge. I am not suggesting that you not develop your knowledge or experience, only that until you do your passion will be interpreted by others as a strong belief in yourself, your mission and your purpose.

Passion is different than enthusiasm. The old outworn cliché says, “Act enthusiastic and you will become enthusiastic.” I have never subscribed to this philosophy. The reason is that if enthusiasm is an act that you use when things are going well, how do you behave when your life is falling apart? Just as enthusiastic about failure, more problems than you deserve and any number of disappointments, frustrations and adversities? Passion is not an act. It is a way of believing.

Question for the week
Are you losing or have you lost your passion?
