Quotables: Living with Passion
Last week I wrote about bringing passion into the exercise of setting goals for the New Year. Here are some good quotes on the subject of passion, to get you fired up:
- Don’t worry about what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive. — Howard Thurman
- Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.– Harriet Tubman
- There is no passion to be found playing small–in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. — Nelson Mandela
- Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. –Oprah Winfrey
- If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it. — Wanda Skyes
- If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose. – Bishop T.D Jakes
- Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things. – Denis Diderot
- I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.– Albert Einstein

She was playing with Barbies while her older sisters marched on Washington and fought for equal rights, but watched and learned.

As “Philosopher in Chief” Cherie merely wants to change the world with this blog: to encourage those of us in the midst of our “second act” to look at life with new eyes, open to a life filled with new beginnings rather than endings, and to apply all we have learned to a way of living that is more meaningful and profound. There is SO much to live for, up until the very end.
