No substitute...

Often we look at people's credentials, education or perceived intelligence thinking that is what makes them successful. When it is really their passion that is the key ingredient. Passion is the first step to achievement. The stronger your passion the greater the desire to attain your goal or destiny. Passion is the fuel for your will to succeed. It charges your batteries, so to speak, for the challenges that you might encounter. Where does your passion lie?  Are you channeling that passion and using the energy it creates? There is no substitute for passion..... it can not be replaced by another ingredient or imitated for long. True passion shows in our actions and in our character. It is not something we have to tell others about. If possessed it will show itself in everything we do.
