A Practical Roadmap for Finding and Spreading HopeSample

Day 5 Passion: You have a stirring deep inside of you to reach people who need hope. 

What do you think about when you wake up and go to bed? If money were no issue, how would you spend your time? Who do you want to help and what problems would you like to help solve? These questions give hints to what your deepest passions are. 

Passion often emerges from pain. I was seven when my parents chose divorce, and I think that is a reason I want to strengthen marriages and make sure every child has a forever home with compassionate parents who are present and connected. I had to discover a new career because of a tragedy, and it is one reason I take time to help people making major transitions. I spent many years with what looked like a success on the outside, but there was another inside story that was very different. It's my greatest passion to see people fulfilled, joyful, and at peace in their inner lives. 

Take some time today in silence. You can also ask some people who know you well. Identify what your passion is, and put it in words. Hope usually swells as you consider this aspect of life. Share what you wrote with someone and consider how you can make this world a better place.
