Hello Everyone! I had a lot of free time this week, and much of my time was spent thinking and wondering about many topics. While at the dinner table I was discussing with my family about passion and how everyone has something special within them. I blurted out "Everyone has a fire within them, a drive that you can be diminished or ignited to fuel your action." That thought came to me in a matter of seconds and I was astonished at what I discovered.

We all have something within us that we are good at. Some are good at cooking, others at programming and others at sports. We are all unique and have a passion for something. Within that passion, I believe there is a small flame. This flame is something that we can control. We can put it out with our fears or make it bigger with our dreams and actions. The size of this flame can be shown in our work, appearance, speech and action. If you are lazy and do not care about your future or well being, you are covering up the flame and letting it go out. On the other hand, if you are doing, following your dreams and helping others, you are making the flame bigger and creating a better life for yourself. You are in control of the size of the flame. Follow your dreams and passions or stay in the same situation that you are in right now. So get up and do something. Go work on that project, contribute to your community, solve people's needs and problems. Ignite your flame into a raging fire!


This your flame. It's your choice to do anything with it.
