Your Passion

There are things that you dearly like, that you are inclined to do without any extrinsic motivation. This inclination to do those things is like a compulsion, an intrinsic motivation, an emotional force that energizes you. It is your passion; and following it can lead you to the discovery of what you are called to do in life

“God has given each of us a unique emotional heartbeat that races when we think about the subjects, activities, or circumstances that interest us.” Rick Warren

Passion is one of the most outstanding characteristics of successful people. It is what makes those with limited talents outperform those with greater ones, and lift them above the crowd. Napoleon Hill referred to it as “a burning desire”, “a consuming obsession”, which is indispensable to pursue a definite purpose. John C. Maxwell, describing the power of passion in his book Talent is never enough, qualifies it as the first step to achievement and the key to success. Passion can be compared to a magnet that attracts a desired thing. Those who are accustomed to the spiritual laws know that a thought needs to be emotionalized, magnetized for it to be creative.

But how does your passion relate to your life’s purpose?

As mentioned  in the above introductory note of this page, it does not matter what type of personality you have, your identity predisposes you for a specific mission that only you can carry out. That mission of yours is linked to your uniqueness.
