"LIFE IS ABOUT PASSION: the intense and undeniable emotion that fills the body with overwhelming energy and strength. It allows good people to become great people, their passion so contagious that their words and deeds inspire others to follow and rise to do great things."
So the question is this: Who, in your world, lives a life of passion? I sent this quote to my friend, Shannon West (the FIRST person I thought of), and I said that it reminded me of her. And at first, she seemed puzzled as to why. But for those of you who know Shannon, I think you will agree with me that her passions (I'll use one example: The Backstreet Boys) inspire others to "rise to do great things" (I mean, she has seen them in concert like 4 TRILLION times, and got a group of girls to go along with her to these concerts and events and appearances....) You may argue the point of 'great things' in relation to the BSB - BUT in the context of her PASSION, there is no question that the things she inspired were great! And BSB is just ONE example. In the field of living a life with PASSION, to me, Shannon is the PERFECT example.

Matty I am so happy I could inspire you to do great (albeit useless) things. :) So who comes to mind for me when I think of passion? Besides you ("Have you ever wanted something so bad that it hurts?"), I think of Jill Chappell volunteering for Earth day so she could get to Leo (and she did!!). And Sina--passion motivates lots of her decisions. Christy can hold her own too! In fact, it seems I surround myself w/passionate people!!! :)
