Passionate Life.... but is it purposeful?

Today I was invited to attend the Annual Lunch Banquet for our local United Way. This past year I had the privilege of being a Loaned Executive. Basically what that is, is my employer loaned me, on their time clock to go around to local businesses and speak about United Way and the amazing things they do and stand for.

It was tremendous to become involved in my community in such a positive way. I had a blast. Initially I was not sure about going to local businesses, speaking to the employees, and asking them for money. BUT when I educated myself on the things that this money does.... WOW, what an amazing thing!

Today at lunch the speaker was talking about how a life full of passion is still purposeless unless someone else is benefiting. And I guess I never looked at passion and purpose that way. But in evaluating it a little further, it seems that most passions DO INDEED involve doing good for others, providing value or services to others!

So yet another incredible way that each and every one of us are making a difference by simply fulfilling ourselves!!!
