A late Friday thought…



Do you LOVE what you do?



Following your passion is the key to finding your potential.JOHN MAXWELL

When a person doesn’t have passion, life can become pretty monotonous.
Everything is a “have-to” and “nothing is a want to.”
Passion is an incredible asset for any person, especially for leaders.
It keeps us going when others quit. It becomes contagious and influences others to follow us. It pushes us through the toughest times and gives us energy we did not know we possessed.

Passion fuels us in ways that the following assets can’t:


Talent…is never enough to enable us to reach our potential.
There are great natural talents in the world who never achieve personal or professional success. You need more then just talent.


Opportunity…will never get us to the top by itself.
Without the passion that sustains when times get tough, people don’t make the most of their opportunities
and they never reach their potential.


Knowledge …can be a great asset, but it won’t make us “all we can be.”
Being smart doesn’t make someone a great leader. Neither does possessing credentials or college degrees


A great team…can fall short.
It’s true leaders cannot be successful without a good team. Having a good team does not guarantee success . A team with no heart and fuzzy leadership won’t succeed.


Passion has enabled me to do the following::
  • Believe things I would not have believed
  • Feel things I would not have felt.
  • Attempt things I would not have attempted
  • Accomplish things I would have not accomplished
  • Met people I would not have met
  • Motivate people I would not have motivated
  • Lead people I would not have lead


When people pursue what they are truly passionate about, it makes all the difference.


What is your passion?
How much passion do you have for your current work?
90% or above Celebrate!!
75-89% Make minor adjustments to align with your passion
50-74% You need to make a major adjustment
49% or less You need a job or career change


“The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders… people who not only have enormous amounts of energy, but who can energize those whom they lead.”
-JACK WELCH
