Check if it is really a true passion of yours – this is really important because that’s what keeps you going in the tough times and yes – they will come. Passion should be a big part of your vision? Is it something you would work for even for free? Once you can clearly determine that you are inspired by it.
Do you love to do it? When we take pleasure and find joy in something this helps us wish and long to do something

Each one has different reasons for their pursuit of passion but you must know yours and be sure it is meaningful to you and of value to the people who will benefit from it Passion is a very important ingredient in trying to reach your goals. It can be the thing that stands between you and success. If you have no passion, you most likely will not make it through the loops and hoops of life. The one thing that will make you stretch and long for something until you finally in that beautiful moment receive it
Are you willing to pay the price? When you are truly passionate and desire what you have set out to achieve, you will be determined enough to pay the price. The price goes beyond money, when we can take action that is required burning the midnight oil. Being creative in finding solutions that will make us achieve – then we are walking in true desire.

down as plain and clear as you can. This will help you to share your vision and influence others to help you in its attainment.
