Passion
"The fiery moments of passionate experience are the moments of wholeness and totality of the personality." -Anais Nin (1968)
 
Passion is often associated with fire.  It feels "hot."  It feels like it could consume us.  We need to pay attention to the things that we feel passionate about.  Our passions are tools which help us to learn and grow.  When we are pursuing our passions we feel alive, we are living in the moment, taking it all in and savoring each experience.  These are the times when we are more of who we really are, and we know it. -Lissa Coffey

"The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by - this you will become."
James Allen - As A Man Thinketh
 
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia
