I like to think a lot.  Stuff like where I want to go and who I want to be if I ever grow up.  I have a vision for my life and idea of what I want with this one shot I’ve been given.  I’m a dreamer …

I’ve written many times about how we should create a life we love to live and that we should do the things that we feel most important.  This is very difficult to do at times because of our professional lives or the responsibilities we may have at home.  It’s just not easy at times.  But as I was thinking again this week about what my life will mean to the people around me and what I want my legacy to be it was very clear that it wasn’t about branding.

Branding is something I’ve been very involved in and loved to do – it’s very much a part of me and my profession but it”s not THE word I want people to remember me by.  This week I discovered that my one word I want to be known for is PASSION.

Many people have gone through life with no spark; they simply go through the motions.  This is sad to me because there is so much that life gives us and the God has blessed us with.  We have plenty of opportunity to live with a burning fire and to make a difference.  I want to be one of those people.  Honestly, I’ve had that desire before but it got snuffed out.

Maybe this all sounds goofy but I continue to learn how fragile life is and how quickly it fades.  I see how we get caught up in the ordinary junk that doesn’t really matter and miss the extraordinary things that do.  I am hoping that I will start focusing more on my passions and leave the rest behind.

Live the Passion Filled Life.
