Busy week. Enjoy this piece from Price Pritchett:

Don’t live a life with a lukewarm heart.

Passion is a very important part of the process. It fires the soul and fills the spirit, energizing your heart and mind on your way to a higher plane of performance. Passion keeps you going when you’re hit with problems and uncertainty.

Passion must be fueled, and you feed that flame with visions of a dream that is dramatic. The emotional intensity inside must burn hot enough to protect you against the chilling effects of doubt, uncertainty, criticism, and failure. Only deep desire can generate such heat.

For you to care this intensely, of course, there must be something worth caring about- something remarkable, special, and precious enough to light the fire in your heart.

This means you must loosen the limits on your thinking, and give yourself permission to pursue what you want most. The climate is right only when you are passionately drawn to a particular goal.

So let your deepest desires direct your aim. Set your sights far above the “reasonable” target. The power of purpose is profound only if you have a desire that stirs the heart.

The inner drive must be strong enough to carry you past the point of wishful thinking. The dream must consume you, control you, drive you to action, disallowing half-hearted effort in the pursuit.

Let your heart take charge of your body.
