PASSION Is The SECRET SAUCE Of Life - What Are You Going To Add It To?
Today's episode is just me and you talking about my favorite topic of all time: passion. A question that I like to ask when I first meet someone is: "what juices you?" "what drives you?" "what EXCITES you?". I think their answer says a lot about a person. What are you passionate about? Passion is the secret sauce of life. Sprinkle some passion on anything and BAM it immediately gets taken to the next level. If you're passionate about your job, all of a sudden it doesn't feel so much like a job anymore. Throw some passion into a relationship, especially one that may have plateaued.... and oh man, you better hang on if you know what I mean. Starting today, start putting some of that secret sauce on your life!If you enjoyed this episode, could I ask you to please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcast/iTunes?
