Living Passionately


Jullien Gordon taught me to see passions as gerunds (-ing words) that reflect action, versus interests - places to express those passions.  These are mine:

  • Moving people to tears
  • Designing
  • Building
  • Learning
  • Researching
  • Making connections (people & ideas)
  • Strategizing
  • Brainstorming
  • Making history
  • Helping others fulfill on their dreams
  • Pulling out the best in others
  • Laughing hard
  • Creating challenges
  • Creating new things
  • Creating memorable experiences
  • Dreaming
  • Motivating others through speaking & writing
  • Reading
  • Journaling
  • Leaving inspiring messages via social networks
  • Love making
  • Singing in the shower
  • Leaving people, places & things better than I found them
  • Offering opportunities & resources to others
