What is your big dream? What do you feel passionate about?
What was the secret of all those famous people who succeeded and left great legacies?

It’s not what you do, your status, or money that make a difference.
It is about believing in yourself enough to put your whole heart into doing what you love. It’s about the focus of your passion. You can only become a winner as long as you do this and follow your purpose with passion.

You have to do what it takes to be a winner. Make a decision; define what your purpose and passion is. Don’t let anyone stop or influence you. It’s your life—your only life—take control of it. Otherwise, someone else will.

We all have passion and purpose. Have you found yours? If not, then you are not doing what you truly love. Many people study in a certain field because it runs in their family. For others, certain influences—perhaps certain people—made decisions for them. How do you expect to reach your ultimate goals this way? You need to focus on what you truly want, and then you will bloom like a beautiful flower.

The difference in people’s success boils down to whether they have found their passionate purpose and if it is their focus. Your reality is the result of your focus, your attitude and your choices (thoughts, words and actions).

If you do what you love, you will feel an excitement and enthusiasm, and it will be a lot of fun. Are you one of those people who wishes that they were rather doing something else? What would it take for you to live a fulfilled and happy life?

Make your decision today; don’t wait any longer. It’s up to you. It exists deep inside all of us and wants to be set free.

We all have the drive to be successful, to fulfil our mission, to realize our dreams. It’s like a burning desire, an inexplicable strength and force within each of us. Stop for a moment; make a decision to find your purpose. What is it, how are you going to get there, and when? Write it down; visualize it, and live as if it has come true. Sooner or later it will. Do it with desire, and you will live a life filled with passion. You will experience the greatest accomplishment by living the life you love.

Stop preparing for the future; rather, enjoy the present. We all seem to be preparing for retirement. What for? To look back and say what most people say, “I should have lived?” No matter how much we have, it never seems to be enough. It is not the quantity that counts; it’s the quality of your life that truly matters.

Live your life—each moment—with magic. The poet challenges us, “Carpe diem.” You will discover endless happiness along your true inner being. This way you will give and get the most out of life. Do what you love, and the rest will follow.

The purpose at this moment is to take action. Don’t wait until tomorrow. We are all capable of contributing to a better world. It is essential for us to live our life to its full potential.

No matter who you are, what you do or where you come from, you are ready to begin. Have faith. Believe in yourself, focus and take the first step today! You do have a purpose in life. Take control of it and enjoy your journey.
