Most passion is inert, unharnessed to a dream. We need passion, but it's not enough. Eventually passion needs to resolve itself into a dream.

And dreams alone are not enough. Dreams are good, but they are a dime a dozen. Lots of people dream of stopping human trafficking, but they won't commit to helping one trafficking victim.

Too many people with dreams feel self-conscious about expressing passion concerning those dreams.

What's rare is harnessing hard work and perseverance to one's passion and dream.

And rarer still are those willing to serve another man's dream in order to learn what they need to work on their own.

I love to hear about people's dreams. But what gets really me excited is a dreamer whose passion has carried him or her all the way to a place of commitment.

3 Questions:

  • Do you have a passion - something worth fighting for?
  • Has it blossomed into a dream worth working for?
  • Are you willing to serve someone else's dream so that you may become equipped to work on your own?
