11. LIFE AND PASSION
 God made the life eternal not because he wanted you to take it
for granted or consider it without much value or postpone it to
tomorrow.
 He made it endless, so that we can we could dare to take risks,
make mistakes to learn from, and live life to the hilt in the top
gear.
 Life is not forever…there are no tomorrows in it…all that we have
are this today and more precisely, this moment!
 Wake up… Allow yourself to be taken over by the storm called
PASSION ….and start tasting the joy of living!

12. LIFE AND PASSION
 With passion, blood finds new joy in circulation, mind receives more
oxygen, alertness level touches a new high, each cell of body
displays happiness and gives rise to a more tolerant and caring
attitude.
 Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of
enthusiasm.
 Those who find pursuing meaningful goals difficult, settle for the next
best –they pursue nice and convincing excuses. And what you look
for usually finds you before you can find it

13. LIFE AND PASSION
 Inspiration means “ to be one with the spirit”.and the word
‘enthusiasm’ composed of two roots “en”+”ethos“ means to be one
with god.
 Passion both stems from and causes spiritual fitness and lack of it
results in spiritual poverty
 Passion helps you search for, the deeper meaning in everything you
do.
 Passion is something which you alone can produce it and that too
free of cost

14. LIFE AND PASSION
Passion is powerful tool to inculcate mindfulness and this in turn will
make you proactive, more focused and less stressful.
Focus on today from the window of tomorrow.
Between your potential and performance flows the river of hesitation.
You cannot cross the river by merely staring at it, either you need an
inferno at your end to escape from or a glimpse of treasure awaiting
across the river or both.
If you do not care for your life , who else will?
Be a responsible gardener to your life
I Repeat , If you do not care for your life , who else will?
