Our passions can lead us to greatness. Our only duty is to follow and yet we find ways of getting lost. Everyone is capable of greatness. This greatness is achieved with passion, through an open, honest heart by those brave enough to go beyond ordinary. The best news about passion and greatness is that it is never (Flickr.com) too late to find yours.
You may be one of those souls who has lost their passion or maybe you have encountered someone, somewhere who has, they seem simply empty, an obvious missing spark to their presence. The loss of passion in ones personal life can lead to depression and spread to their professional lives.
In business the loss of passion leads to poor moral and lower profits. From a customer service vantage point the loss of passion looks like that employee who slowly serves you without a smile or a manager who has lost any passion for leading. In both of these situations passion is missing along with it the opportunity for greatness.
Remembering our passion is essential to our own individual happiness and the happiness that we bring with us where ever we go. When we are young, it seems that we are nothing but passionate. Passionate about everything with an incredible energy to chase our dreams to greatness at any cost.
For some of us, that great passion was felt through first love, when the rush of surprise and the overwhelming sense of happiness was all that was needed to sustain our young souls and bodies.

Another great quality of passion is that it is an individual experience. Your passion may be found in nature, you may feel a since of pride from watching your garden grow. 
It may be that your passion lies in grilling your own masterpiece on a cool, crisp Saturday evening.
Passion is everywhere from the smallest meal cooked with pride and a smile, to the beautiful skyscrapers designed from passion by people just like you. So what then is stopping you from finding your greatness?
You will find those with greatness have intense passion, are dreamers that allow themselves to be led by their passion and are believers who know that greatness comes from a lifetime of following passion.
Whatever your passion, I encourage you to recognize it for the first time or remember it from times past and pursue it to greatness.
