“There are two great days in our lives – the day we are born and the day we discover why.” William Barclay.
OK, so to say that I’m somewhat of a passionate person may be an understatement. So I picked up this book thinking that it may just be some sort of justification for pursuing my passions. True. “Wisdom Meets Passion” also showed me how to live fully and pursue them wisely.
The authors hit on the critical characteristics for becoming successful: Passion, determination, talent, self-discipline and faith. Note that passion leads the list… if you’re not going to do it with fervor, why do it at all? This book shows one how to live a life filled with meaning, joy and purpose. It nails down the distinction of doing what really matters… with authenticity.
“The glory of God is man fully alive” Saint Irenaeus
If you feel like you’re living your life that way, you’ll breeze through this book. It will be affirmation of your direction, and your purpose. If you aren’t quite sure, I would encourage you to pick this one up, you won’t regret it. It will help you identify life goals, and it will help you develop a plan to attaining them.
What are your passions? Do you feel like you’re pursuing them now?
My passion is in the area of leadership and personal growth. I have the book and plan on reading it soon.
