Passion, originally uploaded by Hajj Flemings.
How do you help people become something that you can’t teach? My personal opinion is that passion cannot be taught, but I believe that every personal is passionate about something so it becomes very important to identify your purpose to live your passion.
Today’s post is on Passion one of the guiding principles of my book ‘The Brand YU Life’. The Brand YU Life is divided into seven section defined as degrees. I chose degrees instead of rules or principles because of the significance of a degree. A degree is a small unit or interval of change. Small adjustments in your thinking can produce dramatic results in your life, it is typically the small that creates the big.
Your future, your greatness, and your personal satisfaction is tied to your personal passion. It is hard-wired into your DNA and is coded on the inside of you. It is the fire that burns deep within. Most of us ignore the drive and focus instead on what other people have told us we ought to be, or on what we see others do. Living a life of significance is fueled by passion, which is the reason passionless people exist and passionate people create the future. However, it is difficult to be great at something that you were never created to do.
“ Life’s too short to hate what you do all day.
Life’s way to short to make mediocre stuff.”
- Seth Godin, Tribes
Quite being average and be you. Now I leave you with this question, Who are you becoming?





You hit up on something powerful in this post. I know I’m a late bloomer to this post, but it still speaks volumes worth commenting on.
Your approach to step-by-step adjustments is revolutionary. Never have I heard this discussed in the context of “degrees”.
Thanks for the insight.
