Passion.

The opportunity in the world today is so vast that people can make a living doing almost anything they want. Life is about finding a passion and living for everything that it represents and stands for. Life isn't livig without having something to love. Starting roam has taught me to open my eyes to the world around me. I have seen so many more businesses and ideas that people have filled with so much heart and dedication. It's taught me to take second looks at things and understand how and why. And to not judge what a person loves to do. Everyone in the world is different and no one can tell them differently what they love to do. Now that I'm starting my own life and taking charge of what I want to do with it, I take every opportunity presented to me to try something new to find new motivation and inspiration to find my true passion. I do these things to find what I love to do. And these sources of motivation can come from any source. I went to a gymnastics training conference a few weeks back and learned so many new things, not only with gymnastics but with all aspects of life. It was terrific motivation, putting all the pieces together to find inspiration to progress my life. There is no one moment that makes a life. It is so many moments, so many actions that make life amazing. Listening to champion level gymnast George Hery, he did so many incredible things throughout his life. He told me over dinner that he once did a backflip on a trampoline on the top of one of the great pyramids in Egypt. He also did a backflip on top of one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. And he's 80 years old and can still do a backflip on a trampoline. That's just proof that life goes on and that life doesn't stop after one event. If you keep going, it keeps going. These stories inspire me to go out and take progressive opportunities to do things that are memorable in life. Combining this from one of my favorite short films "The Dark Side of the Lens" where a quote is stated saying that the narrator knows, "I may never be a rich man, but If I live long enough, I'll certainly have a tale or two for the nephews. And I dig that." That is passion and a love for something that nothing else can stand up to. It takes eyes and an open mind to the world around to find passion. When it comes down to it, money doesn't make the world go round. It's the passion in each individual to bring an idea to make the world the world it is. Live in the now. Making memories is more important than making money. Live the way you want to live. 

Money can't buy happiness,
happiness is made by you.
