"Fill your life with as many moments and experiences of joy and passion as you humanly can. Start with one experience and build on it." ---Wieder Marcia
Have you ever met someone whose attitude and enthusiasm is contagious? A person that you are drawn to be near. An individual that makes you smile and feel good? Someone that is so enthusiastic and positive, you believe you can accomplish anything. If you remember the late Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter), he was just that type of person. Looking back on his career, I wonder if he did not have passion and enthusiasm if he would have been successful at all. Passion and enthusiasm can carry you a long way in this life. It is something others are drawn to and want to be near. It also allows others to be at ease and allow their own passions to come out.
If I had to narrow down a successful, happy life to any single trait, it would be passion. Throw in a positive attitude and enthusiasm and you have a very powerful combination. This combination is hard to ignore and usually will get you further in life. Passion is so powerful that it can overcome other weaknesses. Approaching life and all situations with passion brings happiness. Imagine if tomorrow you woke and decided to live your life with passion, regardless of your situation. Even getting up early, or going to a less than desirable job now appears less unpleasant.
When I began this journey, I realized that I wanted more than anything to live a passionate life. I want to be a Steve Irwin in my own life. I desire to be the one people are drawn to and want to be near. I want my beautiful children to see a passionate father that loves them and life. I desire them to see I am passionate, enthusiastic, positive and full of life. As I continue to move towards this goal, I find I am in a happier place and enjoy life more.
"Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark." ---Henri Frederic Amiel
"Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm." ---Samuel Taylor Coleridge
