PASSION

"There is in this world no such force as the force of a person
determined to rise." ~ W. E. B. DuBois ~


Looking back, we can see severe stresses from times and places where it seemed that certain classes of people were living their dream.

Many remember when elite Americans enjoyed stress-free lives, while dissatisfied others settled for mostly less-than-best.

People sacrificed unimaginable stresses trying to acquire a unique lease on life - as others obviously had. It finally became clear that one's yearning for a special kind of lifestyle was called "passion."

After generations of all kinds of stressful struggles, we came to the realization that our battles were a direct result of our passions. We discovered that passion was a divine inheritance for all.

One of the most astounding discoveries -among black, white, red, yellow, and pink - was that passion is not prejudice. It will dwell in any body's heart.

Let's ponder our own passions. Are we stressing-out while waiting for our dreams to come true? What are we doing, other than stressing, to keep the dreams alive?

Surely, if we are to live our long-awaited dreams, we have to take personal responsibility for seeking ways to grab hold of them. And the absolute first thing we must do is "believe."

Yes, yes, and yes again . . . "IF WE CAN BELIEVE IT, WE CAN ACHIEVE IT."


Peace I leave with you . . .
