As we move through life
from survival to significance
the big change is in what we give.
When I was young I thought that I had to build wealth before I could give.
Then I realized that I could do service, and give my time to things I cared about.
Giving time can be the greatest gift
It actually doesn't matter what, or how much you give.
If you give what you can, with passion
you can change the world.
"We make a living with what we get,
but we make a life with what we give."
- Winston Churchill
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
