			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping&#8230; waiting&#8230; and though unwanted&#8230; unbidden&#8230; it will stir&#8230; open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us&#8230; guides us&#8230; passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love&#8230; the clarity of hatred&#8230; and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we&#8217;d know some kind of peace&#8230; but we would be hollow&#8230; Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we&#8217;d be truly dead.”</p>
<p>To find someone whom can bring out the passion in one is unique.  The fire, creativity, the sensitivity as it runs thru your bones&#8230; the heat and trauma, the daydreaming and lost empires, the need and urge.  Passion comes as quickly as it is lost.</p>

<p>I read a quote yesterday&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Success isn&#8217;t a result of <a class="zem_slink" title="Spontaneous combustion" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_combustion">spontaneous combustion</a>. You must set yourself on fire.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Wait for it..</p>
<h2>wait for it&#8230;</h2>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>WOW</strong>!</span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></h1>
<p>Just imagine going into each project, each vision, each goal with that type of attitude and aspiration.  The quote is so right, things to not just get handed to us.  We must work hard to accomplish and reach our own definitions and heights of success.  We must be focused and passionate each day, burning to reach success, otherwise really what is the point?</p>
<p>Each of us has a different definition of success.  For some, it maybe owning a company or writing a book; for others, success is simply going to work each day and keeping the a job.  However you define success, do not let others definition of success ruin your vision, your passion or let others define success for you.  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">We were each given a purpose in life, how we fulfill it is our</span> </strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OWN</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">destiny!</span></strong></p>

<p>We are each given a story, a story called life.</p>
<p>Life pushes us to our extremes on many levels, emotional, physical, mental all at different times and on some occasions simultaneously.   I have to believe when we go through different stages or roads of life they all are for a greater <a class="zem_slink" title="Purpose" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purpose">purpose</a>.  This feeling of faith has always brought me through to a brighter side.</p>
<p>We all have been given the freedom of <a class="zem_slink" title="Free will in theology" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_in_theology">free will</a> and the freedom of choice.  Many of the decision I have made have lead me to the place I am today.  Do you ever wonder about all the decision  you have made and how they are all connected?  Do you ever look back 10 years ago at one decision you made and realize it changed the entire outcome of your life today?  I have, and it quite an amazing story.</p>
<p>I am starting to realize I want to share <strong>our</strong> story with the world.  It is an amazing story of hope, faith, troubles and mistakes, <a class="zem_slink" title="Forgiveness" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgiveness">forgiveness</a>, and ultimately the <span style="color: #ff6600;">love of a family</span>.</p>

<p>the other day our family was eating dinner and our Dear Son whom is almost three and a half asked if he could have dessert.  Of course he hadn&#8217;t eaten hardly any of his veggies or <a class="zem_slink" title="Meal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meal">meal</a> so the answer was &#8220;you first need to clean your plate.&#8221; Dear Son looked at me and asked, &#8220;can i have a <a class="zem_slink" title="Napkin" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin">napkin</a>?&#8221;</p>
<p>it took us a while, but we finally figured out when we said to him &#8220;clean his plate&#8221; he took it in the litterial sense of cleaning.  it was quite cute and we all got a good hardy laugh out of it.</p>
<p>to see life again through the eyes of a child growing up and adventuring, learning, experimenting and loving is an amazing journey my family is just beginning and i&#8217;m thrilled and passionate to wake each day to learn what will be next.</p>
<p>do you have a story through the eyes of a child?</p>

<p>today i welcome you all to my search for vision, <a class="zem_slink" title="Passion (emotion)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passion_%28emotion%29">passion</a> and greater <a class="zem_slink" title="Knowledge" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge">knowledge</a>.  Up until today this search was only shared between select individuals and close friends whom have now urged me to extend my vision and passion with the world.  By doing this I hope to widen my frame of knowledge and ideas and grow my passion and vision for life even greater.</p>
<p><strong>Key Questions<br />
</strong>What drives you to get up every morning?<br />
Do you have a passion that you never pursued?<br />
When you drive to work in the morning in traffic do you let people over in front of you?<br />
Do you get mad if you have to sit in traffic?<br />
What do you day dream about?<br />
If you could have one job in the world without any limitations what would it be?</p>
