Sometimes, progress comes in leaps and bounds. Sometimes -- in small pieces. I'm working on a couple of projects, in addition to reading through a couple of great books (see what I'm reading in my library). Of course, depending on my projects, my reading comes in either small pieces or large leaps.

What are you working on? Is your progress coming along at a steady pace? Sometimes your progress is better to be measured by the outcome at the end, not by the time it takes to get there. I suppose it's a little bit like life; You should take several measurements along the way, but the truest measure of the total impact or success of your life will come at its end. Did you reach your goals? Did you show your compassion in your work and life? Did you act on your passion in life?

my passion.

I love working with others to solve their wants, needs and problems. I
love providing solutions to those needs. Sometimes, a client is so
put-off by the treatment they have received from someone else that they
fail to see how genuinely I want to help them. This is where my passion
meets my anti-passion. Then, for a moment, I see a glimmer of hope in
the eyes of the client -- no...my client -- or I hear the distant tone
of their hurts in their voice and it provides another boost of desire
to create a resolution to their problem.

Let the passion of your heart be ignited by any glimmer of hope or
voice of pain and allow yourself to reach out and help others.

Everybody makes a difference everyday.  The question is what kind of difference.  As you travel through each day, what are you doing to enrich the lives of others?  What are you doing to show you care, to show respect, or to show your passion?  I own a copy of Mark Sanborn's book, "The Fred Factor" and recommend it as required reading for life.  One of the great tips in Sanborn's book is to "practice random acts of kindness -- everyday."  What can you do-great or small-to show kindness to someone else today?

For those looking for something to do, I would like to introduce "Life'sPassion," at lifespassion.org.  It will soon be a community contributed home for your stories about the passion in your life.

What's your passion?
