Finding Your Passion & Making A Difference


“We’re successful if person by person we help make a difference in their lives.”  

Read this article about Elizabeth Holmes, who has made medical history and is now one of the youngest billionaires based on her invention.  What’s amazing about her story is she took a risk, a leap of faith supported by a passion and a purpose and it paid off.. (an understatement as she is a billionaire now).

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about following your passion and doing work that is meaningful to you and makes a difference in the world.  When was the last time you sat down and really gave your life a good look, asking yourself if you are doing something that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness? For many of us – that sort of stuff changes, or we really have no clue what path we are meant to walk down. And I realize, in most cases life doesn’t allow us to just drop everything and try a bunch of different paths  – but I do think we can choose to do something every day that gets us closer to figuring out what makes us happy.

There’s lots of advice about how to find your passion out there, but I particularly liked Psychology Today’s post: Five Steps to Finding Your Passion because one of the suggested steps was to think back to your childhood to help guide you.  What did you love to do as a child?

6 Ways Exercise Makes You Smarter

Dr. John Ratey, author of “Spark – The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” says that exercise improves your brain in the short term by raising your focus for two to three hours afterwards.

In the long term, it can even help starve off brain aging and Alzheimer’s. This works on the cellular level through neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to improve itself with blood flow and levels of brain-derived protein.
