Passion to do what you believe in was the message in the posting from Professor Vanhorn this week. I agree, you need to have a passion for what you do and a desire to do it well.
I would add that Passion goes hand in hand with Purpose!
Not long ago Jay and I found a book called “The Passion Test” by Janet Bray and Chris A
ttwood. The premise behind the text is to motivate and inspire, to help others find the way to achieve their goals and find out what it is that is most important to the person and help to discover their passion in life.
The book itself is very long only 291 pages and easy to read yet the pages are filled with testimonials from average people that will inspire the reader.
My favorite section of the book is Chapter 8 “What You Think You Become.” I have always believed that if you are positive and strive for goals that you will achieve, I guess you can call me a believer. On the reverse, I also believe that those people who constantly mention how sick they are, that life is terrible and are filled with Doom and Gloom are believers too – they just choose to accept defeat.
“What you put your attention on grows stronger in life” is mentioned in the book and co
uld also be heard in another novel “The Secret,” The bookie and video that spread the news that being positive and striving for what you want - “passion and purpose” help you achieve your goals.
No
t long ago I was watching Joel Olsten with my husband and he mentioned the very same message, what you believe can happen. How interesting that a minister would spread positive news and the power for good, I like it!
Regardless of what you believe in I hope that everyone finds their passion and purpose that will help them find happiness.

I have heard about the book callled, "Secret." A friend had introduced me to the concpet a few years ago, I thought it was super intersting. I feel like reading your blog should be a sign for me. I have been in an up and down mood forever now. Ever since last September. Its embarrasing to share, but I am going to tell you... my husband and I found out we were pregnant last september. I recently found out after what feels like several months that we finally achieved that goal again! And I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. However, I was brought back down to reality and off my #9 cloud. We lost it again. I feel so helpless right now, and my husband is off and away playing x-box. I have taken a few days off of work to try to cope. I tried so hard to believe things would get better things can change. However, I have lost the faith in powerful and positive thinking. Sorry for the vent. I just feel like maybe this is the way to reach out and get over all of this. Interesting blog- taking it all in :)
