The document discusses the importance of passion in life. It argues that without passion, life has no meaning and value. God did not intend for us to just get by in life or postpone living fully. We should instead take risks, learn from our mistakes, and live life to the fullest. Passion is what determines how alive we feel and allows us to truly taste the joy of living in each moment. Those who lack passion feel happiness comes from external factors like promotions or money, but truly happy people are happy regardless of their circumstances. We should pursue our goals and meaningful challenges with passion and enthusiasm.

2. 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!

3. LIFE AND PASSION
• “ I just allowed the life to pass by me like a train I never boarded
it …I never lived It… and if you don’t care to board it, you don’t
board it…it is immaterial whether for 47 years or for 97 years”
wailed a short lived individual.
• We exist as if doing a favour to life- only to arrive in life
tomorrow at a place that may closely fit us emotionally.
• Whether you are an ordinary person or a celebrity, you can do
without passion only if you can do without life because it is
passion alone that determines the extent to which you are
ALIVE!

4. LIFE AND PASSION
• Life is not a collection of days you manage to live through, but
of ‘todays’ that you live passionately to the hilt.
• People who lack passion feel that if they could get this
promotion, or that kind of bank balance or get rid of some
health problem, they will be happy. But the fact is that those
whom they find extremely happy usually have similar problems
or much worse than theirs.
• Human beings like any piece of iron, can propose to finish
themselves in two ways: we may rust ourselves out or we may
simply wear ourselves out .Rust looks ugly; wearing out brings
shine

5. LIFE AND PASSION
• Value of your own life, comes not from your achievements, but
from the quality of passion with which you are still making
ceaseless efforts today to make it shine further.
• Focus your mind, heart and soul in enjoying the excitement of
responding to the challenge @ hand.
• James Cameroon-director of the blockbuster “TITANIC” offered
to forego his original deal $11.5.million as the budget of the
film dramatically rose to $200 million-twice its original
budget.Not ready to compromise in his passionate vision he
went ahead not taking any fee except the writer’s fee of
$1.5million.He eventually ended up earning much more than his
original deal

6. 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

7. 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

8. LIFE AND PASSION
• Learnacy is the initiative and ability to learn what is really
required to be learnt, and the consistency with which one
applies the appropriate kind of knowledge to real life situations.
• People who have a “big enough” – why ?’ to achieve
something, learn and do all it takes to do so, anyhow.
• With passion, a relationship moves deeper from dealing merely
in cliché’s, facts, distortions and opinions to the sharing of
needs and feelings.
• Both sides should express, understand and fulfill each other’s
feelings and needs with concern, respect, fearlessness and
above all honesty.

9. 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

10. LIFE AND PASSION
• There are only two emotions: pain and pleasure.
• Passion is an offspring stream that flows between the two.
• Being ceaseless awake to the gap between one ‘s potential and
intentions and one’s performance and one’s pains is the key to
strike passion.
• The real sorrow of life is to lose the ability to feel the sorrows-
and hence that of doing the needful. Pain is a message from
nature that you should pay attention to and address

11. • If you put a frog in boiling water he will leap out of it
immediately. However if you put him in water at room
temperature but slowly heat it, he will get roasted in it and
won’t comes out. Most of the humans do get roasted in their
day to day suffering, having lost their sensitivity to the pain of
going through.
• Suffering is not the nectar that washes away our sins and that
nectar is in “ LEARNING FROM IT “.
• The universe has only one purpose- to plant desires in our mind
and help us fulfill them
• It is not the ocean’s fault if you approach it with a tea spoon.
LIFE AND PASSION

12. • Redefine your goals in terms of giving and connect yourself to
whatever kind of “GIVING’ inspires you.
• The secret of existence of a gap that exists between your role
model and you is that he ceaselessly believed even in times of
adversity that he deserved his passion and hence was highly
willing to make efforts to hone his talents.
• Remember the elephant and the metal chain and the rope
story.
• Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s the determination and
commitment to unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment
to excellence – will enable you to attain success- YOU SEEK!
LIFE AND PASSION

13. • You arrive in life where your vision takes you.
• Vision 1:that stems from the fear of losing what one has
acquired already, and hence is more concerned about
maintaining a status quo.
• Vision 2 : that stems from the fear of failure , and hence weighs
up and what is possible and what is not on the basis of past
evidence
• Vision 3 : that stems from not fear but from love that seeks to
fulfill one’s dreams about how the world should be. It requires
quantum leap of faith, courage and passion for one to shift to
V3. But it is POSSIBLE!
LIFE AND PASSION

14. • “Being” and “Doing” are inseparable parts of the whole we call
NATURE- Mango and sweetness.
• If you are truly in your ‘being’ you cannot live without ‘doing’.
• Let your goals be in terms of ‘giving’ and not
‘getting/achieving/grasping’.
• You cannot focus on your work whole heartedly unless there is
peace in your mind and contentment in your heart.
• Be here and NOW!
LIFE AND PASSION

15. • Between the two zeros of what you possess at your birth and
death, You have only one thing with you-the adventure of
playing the game of life with utmost passion and with
progressively bigger and still bigger heart till there is nothing left
outside it.
• The heart cracks only when it resists becoming bigger.
• Beware : achievements , success and money can give you a lot
to live with , but nothing to live for that gives you hope, joy ,
meaning, happiness and purpose.
• The only way to grow stronger is to believe that you are a river
that no rock can stop you from flowing.
LIFE AND PASSION

16. • Whenever we wish to hold on to life we lose it and when we
tend to give it away to others we live on.
• Whatever and whenever, we give, we in fact, give to no one
else but to ourselves only.
• DISCOVER AND LIVE YOUR PASSION!
• THIS IS THE ONLY THINGS YOU ARE HERE FOR
LIFE AND PASSION

17. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
