"Passion", the first leg of the "Empowerment Triad," is an integral part of the whole process. It is the engine that drives the positive messages into your subconscious. Do not underestimate the power of passion in changing your attitudes. Without passion in the process, the emotions would not be touched and the desired results would be far more difficult to attain.
Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.
-W. Eugene Smith
We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.
-Hegel, 1832
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion is defined as:
- A powerful, deep, overwhelming emotion
- Boundless enthusiasm
- Zeal
- Ardor
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion is the force behind the creation and the reinforcement of a positive mind-set (positive attitudes ruling your life). As the process progresses - the use of passion in driving the positive messages into your very being...will speed up the process dramatically, and could even be the difference between success and failure.
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
-Henri-frédéric Amiel
Men are failures, not because they are stupid, but because they are not sufficiently impassioned.
-Struthers Burt
Passion will ignite the emotions, and awaken a very powerful force that lies within you.
Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions.
-Benjamin Disraeli
Be careful, passion can also have its negative, dark side. Remember, passion is a powerful emotion. There are negative passions such as envy, jealousy, rage, wrath, revenge, and many more. All the messages that you get and create through this process need to be positive, self-affirming and empowering.
Living well is the best revenge.
-George Herbert
The passion that you will summon up should be a combination of your own burning desire for success, the knowledge that a change in attitude will bring you so much closer to it, and the pleasure derived from reading rhyming poetry. Following is the "Pleasure" leg of the "Empowerment Triad."
We may affirm absolutely that nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.

Thank you for posting these... I'll be reading them regularly - 18 months ago we decided that if we were really going to live the life we dreamed of we woud have to take action to start our own business. we had a large family, unstable income, debt, bad credit and no capital. Since then, we've increased our family, stabilized our income, decreased our debt, and nickle and dime'd the beginings of a business. Three weeks ago, i started focusing on positive thoughts and comments - to the point where i was rephrasing things my family members were saying to make them more positive. I sarted focusing on things I love and feeling great about them, This past week things have snowballed and we've accomplished so much in such a short time - I'm amazed. and eager to keep it up. I don't know how we're going to accomplish this, I don't know anything about starting a business, I just know we will because it's the only thing I see us doing - I'll need your posts for inspiration - thank for being here!
Heather,
It's comments like yours that keep me going. Thank you for the kind words and GOOD LUCK. I know you will succeed!!
