Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you do with your life, be passionate. – Jon Bon Jovi

Think back to when you were a kid, and you dreamed of being a fire fighter, or an explorer or an astronaut, and the games you played.  Remember playing astronaut, or inventor, or whatever your dreamed of becoming?  You were the best explorer ever,  or the best fire fighter.  You climbed the highest mountains, or created amazing things.  It consumed you and your thoughts.  It was the best feeling, wasn’t it?  Now flash forward to high school when you’re graduating and heading out into the world, or off to college.  You were either taking a job so that you could start making money, or you were studying and trying to figure out what you were going to do with your life.  You were probably thinking about what would make you the most money the quickest so you could buy that car, get that apartment and pay off the student loans.  Somewhere in adulting, we lost the magic, and we lost the passion.  Not all of us, but a lot of us.  I recently attended two college graduations this past spring, and while the kids were all pretty excited to be done, none of them were over the moon about what they were going to be doing.  Even those of us who are blessed and fortunate enough to be doing what they love can sometimes lose the passion.  It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day minutiae.  Do what you have to do to keep that passion alive every single day.  Because when you feel the passion, what you do with your life will make your heart sing with joy!
