Keep living with Passion

Keep living with passion is a frequent reminder I am fortunate to receive from my friend Dr. Seif Al Abri. This inspirational gesture is accompanied by a motivating quote of renowned scholars, thinkers and laureates. The wide range of his selections indicates that he is a man of affinity to books and reading in general. I must admit that once his message pop up I make it a point to read and ponder about it. These messages are really uplifting and thought provoking. The first time you read them you may say to yourself. “Yeah, it is easier said than done”. However, when you give yourself a chance to think about it they really make a difference and actually are products of real life experience.

They convey a loud message that it is our attitude that makes a difference. It is out of such a positive angle that my friends Seif advised should be taken.

Keep living with passion, because passion is a driving force towards achieving our goals in life. Passion is an inner uplifting spirit that allows us to consume our energy in a positive manner so that we get that since of fulfillment.

As the renowned author and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar puts it in his book Better than Good   “Passion deserves for more credit than the records of history provide. Finding and developing. Passion is a journey not an event. A noble passion win found and developed produces great joy and personal rewards and offers huge benefits to the society as well.

As the New Year has just started why don’t we search within us and discover where our passion lies.  Why don’t we make it a point to include our passion within the list of our New Year resolutions so that we keep living with passion and inculcate this attitude through which we can make a difference in our life, society and humanity at large.

Living with passion certainly makes life meaningful. It gives us the opportunity to appreciate the positive things around us. And empower us to appreciate and celebrate the gift of life.  Some of these keep living with passion reminders I have received are highlighted below:

·        No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined- Henry Emerson Fosdick.

       

·        Whatever course you decide upon there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. These are always difficulties arising which tempt to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

·        Do not judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson

Thank Dr. Seif. Keep your messages flowing, we really need to remind ourselves that it is essential to put fire in our desire and keep living with passion.
