Passion without purpose is just loud noise…

"A great leader's courage to fulfill a vision comes from passion, not position."

John Maxwell

Right now my wife and I are watching Bravehart for probably the 1,000 time at least .  It is probably my favorite movie of all time because it outlines the life of William Wallace, a man who was so passionate about his fight for freedom that it became the purpose for everything he did the rest of his life.  

There are all kinds of passionate people out there, people who want to give their opinions on everything from weight loss to politics, from Science Fair projects to sports .  Most people stop at debate, they want to talk all day long about a topic but when it comes time to do something about it that passion fades like a candle in the wind.  Leaders take that passion a step further…they don’t stop at debate, they use that passion as fuel to make their purpose in life a reality that makes a difference.  

Question for this week:  Part I:  What are you passionate about?  Part II: Why are you so passionate about it?  Part III:  How does your life reflect that passion on a regular basis? Part IV:  What is one specific thing you are going to do this week because of that passion?  What day are you going to do it?
