Passion

‘What carries you through the tough times? What gives you the power to overcome adversity? Passion! Poet William Arthur Ward suggested that the key to success is to

Believe while other are doubting
Plan while others are playing
Study while others are sleeping
Decide while other are delaying
Prepare while other are daydreaming
Begin while other are procrastinating
Work while other are wishing
Save while other are wasting
Listen while other are talking
Smile while other are frowning
Commend while other are criticizing
Persist while other are quitting

What will give you the energy to believe, plan, study, decide, prepare, begin, work, save, listen, smile, commend and persist? The answer is passion!’

Quoted in ‘Put Your Dream To The Test’ by John C. Maxwell
