FOLLOW YOUR PASSION

We live in a society that creates pressure for us to live a certain way, obtain a certain position and acquire a bag of toys we feel me must have to be in the “IT CROWD.” This misconstrued form of thinking has lead many people to lead a passionless life.

In my seminars I try to persuade individuals to follow their passion and not a career path. Following a career path my get you stuff, but it will never get you fulfillment. We have houses we never see, clothes we will never wear, and cars that stay parked for most of the day as we die away in a cubicle.

Following your passion no matter what it may be is the only way to enjoy true peace and prosperity. Don’t be fooled by following the crowd into bleak future, follow your passion.

For some of you that may be basket weaving, that’s what it was for Jeffery Gale. Jeffery always loved working with his hands, and one day he came across a hand woven basket. He fell in love, he new this was what he wanted to do. He sought out someone to teach him, but found no one who still maintained the hand crafted tradition. So Jeffery taught himself.

Now he creates some of the finest basket you will ever see. For Jeffery his peace was in his passion for basket weaving.

For Richard and Sandee Gerber, their passion was hidden in the plumbing business. Following their passion lead them to start their on business 29 years ago in Eugene, Oregon. Over the years, their passion for the business has allowed them to exceed 12 million dollars in sales annually.

Richard says their passion has created an environment for excellence. Sandee sums it up this way "Now after 29 years we still enjoy every day of the business."

You can only make that kind of statement when you are passionate about what you do. Ask yourself, do I enjoy everyday of what I do? Or do I dread what I do and can’t wait for Friday and hate Monday?

Now more than ever is your time to follow your passion. Don’t waste away your life sitting around wishing and day dreaming that life was more fulfilling. Begin today to start mapping out a life full of PASSION!!!
