Quotes about Passion

Part of our motivation in life is having a future that we can look forward to. Your future is summed up in your dreams and visions: dreams of what can be and visions of what will be. Your vision is what you see before you actually see it. Your passion is what you feel that motivates you to pursue the vision or dream. When a person has no vision or passion, he or she will have a boring existence. With a vision but no passion a person will eventually lose energy to pursue their dream.

My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.
