Passion comes from the latin verb patior, meaning to suffer or to endure*. It's a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion towards a subject, idea, person, or object. It gives you the strenght to overcome all challenges and stay motivated, especially when you start a new business or relationship.

I'm fired up with Passion. Literally :). It's the fuel that fires my engine and keeps alive the faith I have in my dreams. However, It happens sometimes that my passion just burns out. I lose interest in what I do/ dream/ believe in, and I simply get bored. Following is a list of things that help me fire up my "engines":  

1- Remember WHY:  Revisit past accomplishments, understand where you are coming from and why you want to reach your goal. Writing a personal statement and reading it aloud everyday helps you keep the "why" in mind.

2 - Make a commitment: Your choose your dreams, nobody forces them unto you. They are all you have. Commit to them.

3 - Be persistent :  Don't give up. Yes, there will be times when you will be frustrated, discouraged, tired of struggling. But don't give up ! never.

4 - Be flexible and open minded: There is more than one path to get you to your destination. Doing the same thing for a long time can lead to a burnout. Reinvent yourself, find another challenge, learn and do something else.   But keep in mind your ultimate goal !

5- Surround yourself with passionate people: Passion is contagious. Surround yourself with passionate people and the fire of your passion will never die out !

6- Do something everyday that contributes to your goal:  Action is a statement. It's the expression of your faith in what you want to accomplish. You can succeed. You will succeed. Just do it !
