Passion.. motivation.. life... what would you do?

Passion.
What drives you? what animates you?
You should do what makes you feel alive.. find out what makes you come alive and do it. The world does not need more people just doing things because they need done. The world needs more people that come alive when they are doing what they are doing. Does that make sense?

-> most heart attacks occur between 8am and 9am on Monday mornings. It is the beginning of the work week. About to face a whole week of work you don't want to do.

-> Before, people's jobs were what they did. Now, your job is who you are.

What is it that stops you from taking bigger risks?

When have you been so absorbed in something that time flew by?

What are you most/least grateful for?
->Ask yourself that everyday for a year and see if there is a pattern that emerges
When have you felt most alive?

What are times in your life you would like to repeat?

If you could do anything-assuming time and money were of no concern-what would you chose to do?

What's the wildest thing you've ever done in your life that turned out better than you'd imagined?

If you knew you couldn't fail and no bad would come of it, what is the wildest thing you would do?

Where do you go in your head when you are stressed out?
->PAY attention to that place... it is telling you something

When you were a child, who did you dream of being when you grew up?
-> When did you give up on that dream?

Who do you most want to be like today

Do you feel any expectations or pressure from family regarding your current or future work?

What could you accomplish that would make your parents proudest?

How do you know you're parents are proud of you?

What movies or stories moved or influenced you.. changed your view on life?

If you listed 10 favorite movies, what would be a common theme?



Find your passion..
What do you have a passion for? What has made you want to jump out of bed?

"When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn."
— John Wesley
Evangelist (eighteenth century)

Chase down your passion like it's the last bus of the night.

LIGERS AND TIGONS AND MORE! OH MY!

yes. They are real. Ligers.

The faintly striped, shaggy-maned creatures are the offspring of male lions and female tigers, which gives them the talent to roar like lions and chuff like tigers-a loving sound that is somewhere between a purr and a raspberry.
They weigh about a thousand pounds, each and eat 50 pounds of raw meat in a meal.

Tigons are the babies of a male tiger and a female lion. They are usually tawny in color with pale brown candle flame shaped stripes along their backs and down their legs. Their underbellies are often paler and even sometimes white

Fun experiments to try!

I have a couple challenge for you all.. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO!!

Try nailing jello to the wall...

Toast/Grill a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron....

Fry an egg with pure energy and head from the sun.. either in a wok or a skillet or straight up on the sidewalk....

Put office supplies.. forks.. rubber duckies inside jello

Leave a pop tart on the dashboard of you car during a hot day.. when you come back after a long day of class or a day shopping, will it be nice and toasty for you?

Take a whole container of corn kernels, put it in a hot air popper and let it pop.. how much will pop? Can it fill your entire room?

Take a container of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream and dump it out in a strainer.. let it drain.. and figure out how much cookie dough is actually in the ice cream... Try comparing the consistencies of different brands.. which one has the most cookie dough?

Find out exactly how much whipped cream is in one of those containers... is there a difference between the fat free/light container and the regular container.

Try chewing an entire package of chewing gum at once...

Send airmail.. tie a letter to a balloon.. let it go.. and see if you get a response from whoever finds it! .. similar to putting a message in a bottle in hopes of a response..

Take a box of Honey Bunches of OAts with Almonds and separate them into the different cereal bits.. (frosted flakeys, granola/oat clusters, corn flakeys, almonds, etc.) what are some ratios?

Same experiment as above with Lucky Charms... Are there more marshmallows or more of the other cerealy bits? Which marshmallow is there most of?
