To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, John Maxwell shares his \u201cLaw of Awareness.\u201d He writes: \u201cYou have to know who you are to grow to your potential. But you have to grow in order to know who you are.\u201d It is about finding what you want to be and do in life. Whether it is the beginning of our journey or where we are now, finding our passion is our choice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.<\/p>\n
Passion gives you an advantage over others, because one person with passion is great that ninety-nine who have only an interest!<\/p>\n
Passion gives you energy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maxwell quotes Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung: \u2018Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakens.\u201d Relating to his own life\u2019s journey, Maxwell says: \u201cI was born for this.\u201d You can hear the excitement, great joy and passion in his words. Great leaders\u2019 voices echo them. They has envisioned their life, set goals to achieve their objectives and engaged others to support and encourage their journey. And for these great leaders who strive to be more than they ever dreamed they could be, Maxwell describes \u2018what it will be like when you get to do what you\u2019d like to do:\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, it will be different from what you imagined\u2026. When you do what you want to do, it will be more difficulty than you ever imagined. I had no idea how much time it would take to be effective. I never expected to have such great demands put on my life or to have to keep paying the price to be successful. I also never dreamed that my energy level would go down as much as it has in recent years. Finally, let me tell you about this. When you do what you\u2019ve always wanted to, it will be better than you ever imagined\u2026. And I never dreamed it would be this much fun! Nothing else compares to doing what you were created to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is the awesome joy of living life to its fullest \u2013 to expend your energies in the magnificent pursuit of your life\u2019s purpose and giving yourself in the service of others. Yes, \u201cnothing else compares to doing what you were created [to be] and do.\u201d I repeat John Maxwell\u2019s words to his readers and make they my own: \u201cI want to encourage you to seek what you were put on this earth to do. Then pursue it with all you effort.\u201d Be more than they ever dreamed they could be, and more\u2026 so much more. Life is so very beautiful!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n
