"I believe that I am responsible for my own personal development. Only I know who I want to become. Only I know my real strenghts and weaknesses, my passion and my talent. Only I know the price I am willing to pay to be who I can become."
- Fred Smith Sr.
How very true of me!
Nothing great ever happens without passion. The driving force behind all masterful art, all moving music, all classic literature, all powerful drama, all stunning architecture is passion. Passion proples athletes to break records. Passion pushes secients to discover new cures for diseases. Passion drives us to share the love of God in creative, innovative ways with those around us. Passion is what gives life to life.

BOOK: One Month to Live
Discovered this week that the Greek word for "I" is "ego" (εγώ).
The english definition of ego is often around a person having egotism, conceit or self-importance. I guess ego is I-ism to the extreme. Beyond self confidence. Much more that good self talk.
So when I next say 'I' in english, I want... I need... I think..., in greek I am saying ego, ego want... ego need... ego think.
Not always a bad thing, but certainly worth thinking about.
The opposite of love is not hate, its indifference.
- Elie Wiesel
My mantra is to 'lead and live vividly'.
