Break the silence...

"Just a breath away to make a change. One voice can make a difference. Share the knowledge, break the silence!" - The Bilz and Kashif

I was asked this past week, "What are you passionate about?" It was oddly a difficult question to answer without time to think about it. My first reaction was to think of places and groups I am involved with and why they attract me. But looking back now, I think the answer lies much deeper than a specific place or group.

To truly answer this question, I need to establish not only what my passions are, but how I define my own personal value. I find that this is an area I am growing in daily and it is starting to take hold. I find my self worth in God, not what I do or how much money I make. I am a child of God, just as every other person on this planet is. Holding on to this idea leads me to explain my passions much better.

As they say at Good-Works Inc., "What we do emerges from who we are." What I am passionate about emerges from how I define my self worth. As a child of God I am called to love others. Thus I am not passionate about one group of people, I am passionate about all people.

The reason I quoted the song "One Voice" is to point out the power of being passionate about people. If we were concerned about the good of all humanity, there would be no war, there would be no orphans, there would only be LOVE.

So now I ask you...what are you passionate about? Break the silence, spread the love.
