Passion
“Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.” ~ Terri Guillemets
“Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.” ~ Amiel
“True success – financial, personal, and professional – lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.” ~ Gary Vaynerchuk
“True happiness… is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” ~ Helen Keller
“Someone with less passion and talent and poorer content can totally beat you if they’re willing to work longer and harder than you are. Hustle is it.” ~ Gary Vaynerchuk

“Effort is one of the things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you and you are willing to work for it. It would be an impoverished existence if you were not willing to value things and commit yourself to working toward them.” ~ Carol Dweck
“The desire to do something because you find it deeply satisfying and personally challenging inspires the highest levels of creativity whether its in the arts sciences or business.” ~ Teresa Amabile
You need not see what someone is doing
to know if it is his vocation,
you have only to watch his eyes:
a cook mixing a sauce, a surgeon
making a primary incision,
a clerk completing a bill of lading,
wear the same rapt expression, forgetting
themselves in a function.
How beautiful it is,
that eye-on-the-object look.
~ W. H. Auden
“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” ~ Albert Einstein
“It is those who are least motivated to pursue extrinsic rewards who eventually receive them.” ~ Jean Kathryn Carney
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” ~ Ayn Rand
“Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.” ~ Wilfred Peterson
“A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.” ~ Zig Ziglar
“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
