Passion

Focus on what stirs your soul, because it's hard to excel at anything that you don't love. Be fearless. Don't be afraid to go down fighting if you're fighting a righteous battle.

Trust your intuition and then work with everything you have to prove it right.

Your necessary fire is not only necessary for you, it is necessary to the world itself.

One of the more powerful outbreaks of happiness and meaning in your life will occur when you pair your passion and the world's need.

Don't ever, ever have a job. Always, always have work.

Sometimes it is important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it!

Do not confuse dreams with wishes. Dreams are where you visualize yourself being successful at what's important to you to accomplish. Dreams build convictions because you work hard to pay the price to make sure that they come true. Wishes are hoping good things will happen to you, but there's no fire in your gut.

Follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. Then by all means, you should follow that.

You shouldn't be afraid to let passion get behind the wheel — you might really love where you end up.

Pursue your passion, and everything else will fall into place. This is not being romantic. This is the highest order of pragmatism.

Find the courage to do things you are not ready to do. Doing something you are not ready to do isn't comfortable. But in pushing through this discomfort you will learn a lot more about yourself.

There is another path to take. It's hard work. You'll be right sometimes, you'll be wrong sometimes. People will doubt you, you'll doubt yourself. But if you are doing something you want and have a passion for, at least you'll have that to guide you.
