Happiness comes from following your passion. Excellence comes from work that you are passionate about.
Knowing what to do is certainly important, but knowing why you do it fuels your motivation…your passion. A strong passion enables you to find a way to achieve your goals… any goal. Passion turns your stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Not only does passion ignite your pursuit of excellence; passion also makes the journey more fun!
