Harness Your Passion 2

 

• “Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”– Harriet Tubman
• Have you ever met or heard of someone who has an unusual passion? Maybe it‘s cave digging like sculptor Ra Paulette, who does it by hand, shaping them into works of art. Or have you heard of a unicycle-riding actress like Leslie Mann? Each of these passions may appear to be hobbies. But what if they were connected to your purpose?

  Cave digger Paulette is changing the way people view art. That’s his purpose: using his talent and passion for art and sculpting to bring beauty and awareness to others. On the other hand, unicycle riding isn’t Leslie Mann’s purpose. It’s simply a passionate hobby.
