Great project! Your questions are making me think.
I appreciate my time with my family, loving and enjoying each other.
I insist on time to myself — reading, practicing yoga, sometimes simply breathing.
I go to the planetarium and marvel that I even exist among this vastness.
I aim to be mindful.

I believe passion comes from love. Not just romantic love but the unselfish giving of yourself for others and also causes that are greater than yourself. The famous verse, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son…” is a prime example. God’s LOVE moved him to sacrificial action, that’s passion. I believe that when your goals are merely focused on yourself then you cannot experience true passion. When my passion starts to wane I take my eyes of myself and remind myself to think of the people who will benefit from my action and then my passion returns… and as a side benefit my needs and desires are met. “It’s better to give than receive” is not just a holiday cliche. : )

Gina -
I’m loving your blog – I too just started my blog which is all about passion and I’m still searching for my message.
I strive to be passionate in all that do knowing the end result will always be greater. My passion for my relationship with Christ grows every day and I carry that with me throughout my day.
I am passionate about every aspect of my life and realizing that this life is a gift, I try to make the very best of each moment. The more I pour into my professional life, the more it spills over, in a very positive way, to my personal life!
I try to “empassion” those around me, and love to surround myself with passionate people! It’s just so fulfilling – no matter what your passion!
PASSION FEEDS PASSION.

Sad, but True!
I’ve always been able to keep my passions and aspirations burning due to a need (good, bad or indifferent) to impress women. I have found that most women I’m attracted to love a man with strong ambition. Fortunately, I found a spouse who loves an ambitious man and I now driven by doing things to impress her. Like I said, this may not be the best reason to keep my “fire burning”, but it has led me to success as a former employee, as an entrepreneur and in life in general
. 13 years, and still going strong!
Peace & Love,

Gina,
You wanted to use my Twitter bird. Please go back and check the instructions at http://cdmm.blogspot.com. I made an error, but have now fixed it. Rather than remove x’s, you simply replace my username “lamarjmorgan” with your Twitter username. With regard to the rest of the HTML code, be sure to remove the extra spaces and the *’s and you should be just fine.
Happy Twittering in Hawaii.
Lamar Morgan
