What Does This Quote Suggest?

Passion is the key to life. Without passion, you are merely existing, but you are NOT living. You may be breathing; you may be alive; but you’re not really living. You’re not really doing anything or accomplishing anything.

So, how do you live? You do that by finding your passion. What is it that makes you happy? As I like to say, what is it that floats your boat? What is it that makes you want to get up early each morning and stay up late each night in order to get it done. That’s what your passion is.

My first book: Achievement IQ: Find Purpose In Your LIFE & Achieve Massive Success talks about that in great detail. The book starts out by stating my passion; my purpose in life; which is:

My purpose in life is to help you find your purpose in life, and achieve it !

That’s what gets me excited, that’s what floats my boat.

The book takes you through 200 pages of exercises and by the end, you will have the information you need, to decide for yourself, what your purpose in life is.

Now, once you find your passion, you have to become it. You have to live it. You have to achieve it.

Like so many things in life, there are multiple stages. Just because you know what your passion is, you’re not finished. Once you know your passion, you have to work on it. That’s where so many people drop the ball; where so many people fail to follow up - BUT NOT YOU !!!

Once you find your passion and once you start to live it:

Great things will happen FOR you.

Great things will happen TO you.

And most important of all, Great things will happen BECAUSE of you.

What’s The Difference Between FOR, TO and BECAUSE?

FOR is things that happen on your behalf.

TO is things that you experience.

BECAUSE is things that happen not just to or for you, but to and for others, which is the most important of all.

After all, the way to get somewhere in this life; the way to be happy; is to help others.

In other words, the most important things that will arise from your passion is what happens BECAUSE of you.

So, Where Do We Go From Here?

We have to decide what it is that empowers us; what it is that makes us into the person we need to be in order to achieve more than we ever thought possible. THAT IS OUR PASSION !

And once we have our passion, we then have to figure out how to use it properly.

Do it. I believe in you. My passion is to help you get it done; so go forth and spread your passion.

The world will be a better place as a result.
