QUOTE – “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” — Oprah Winfrey
I believe there are a few important life lessons we can take from this quote:
- Passion brings you excitement and energy
- You can design your life
- You must bridle your passions
- You can grow your desire through focusing on your passions
This quote also reminds me of another quote from Oprah Winfrey,
“Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” — Oprah Winfrey
That means that to get what you want in life, sometimes you need to do things that maybe you don’t want to do. This could mean performing arduous tasks. It could mean working at a job you don’t enjoy to generate the opportunities you need to pursue the goals you’ve set for your life. This reminds me of something Marie Forleo said in her book, Everything Is Figureoutable. She basically said not to be ashamed to do those menial tasks or jobs that support you while you work toward your dreams. For her, that meant working as a bartender so she could do life coaching, dancing, and creating motivating messages to share. This idea is not unique. In his book, The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss presents the idea that you can create what he calls a “muse” or something that can generate money, so you can spend the rest of your time doing what you love in life.
