Recently I was inspired by something I never thought was possible. Let me explain… My
family and I have been traveling for some time now, something we have been talking about for many years. Finally we decided to pack up everything and Just Do It. Crazy, yes I know, but that’s another story for another time.
Now you may be asking… What in the world does this article have to do with
“profiting from your passion”? Keep reading and I will get to that.
In our travels we decided to make a stop at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Heading into the trip I was convinced that my six year old son would be the person to enjoy the space center most; he is somewhat of a space fanatic. Well I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I can’t speak for rest of my family but I was absolutely in awe for the entire duration of our visit to the Kennedy Space Center.
Eventually an impossible dream turned into a reality
What fascinated me most was the idea of man’s desire to journey to the moon. Moments after the first successful space journey, President John F. Kennedy announced to the world that the American space program would strive to reach the moon within that decade. The many thousands of men and women astronauts and engineers, I’m sure, had no clue if such a task was even possible, nevertheless they came together to make the impossible possible. Eventually an impossible dream turned into a reality, propelling the American space program to historic heights.
I couldn’t help but think about a probable lesson with regards to Profiting from your passion.
One can make the argument that it was the Russians who may have created the spark in the American space program, nevertheless the thought of the US space program reaching the moon was inspired. Thinking Big propelled man to explore greater heights.
What if President Kennedy hadn’t challenged Americans to set sights on the moon? Would the space program have made the advances that we currently see today?
The better question is… what if you don’t take the chance and pursue that which you are most passionate about? How will your world be different? How would it change for those around you?
Great accomplishments always start with a great thought
Better yet, how would the world change because of the actions you take?
Great accomplishments always start with a great thought, sparked by the desire to achieve something. Take the chance! Think a great thought and hold the desire to accomplish it.
And you will Profit From Your Passion.
