Take God’s hand and embrace your full desire, thoughts, and feelings for a specific purpose, cause, or event. The passion that you have for something is the underlying fire for what you can give to the world. You must believe in yourself, God, and the feelings that you have for what it is that you truly want to do. It hurts deeply to love something that doesn’t love you back. This may be something that you will experience initially. That doesn’t mean that what you feel, believe, and want to do is wrong. It means that you are uncovering the truth about your purpose to the world, and you are in the initial stages of finding out about who you really are, what you can do, and where you can go. Passion unmasks the future quickly. The underlying journey to pursue and fulfill your passion is ultimately up to you to obtain. Mold yourself into a better person by making a change to do something different that you know deep down inside is good for the world. Building self-esteem and discipline is a must. Passion for anything requires total commitment. You have this naturally. Understand that a passion and a gift crosses road only when action is taken daily. David Carl Smith Jr. An Excerpt from: Black Athlete White Athlete: Mental Strength Winning The Battle That Others Don't See Now And in The Future Quote From David Carl Smith Jr. "Man and spirit meet at the mouth of the river" David Carl Smith Jr.
