If you are not passionate about something, have a goal or a dream, then it may be time for some reflection, some introspection, some soul-searching to find out what really drives you. This is something that can give your direction and purpose, shape your life for the better, and impact the lives of those around you. So how are you going to figure out what you are passionate about, what drives you? Try something you have always wanted to try or try something new. Take a risk!
If you already have or know your passion, goal, or dream, are you acting on it already to bring it to fruition? If so, are you on track? Do you have a timeline for completion? Are you keeping yourself accountable to fulfilling your dream? If not, why not? Do not be complacent or lazy. Comfort is nice, but being comfortable all of the time leads to being comfortably miserable because dreams die. We cannot develop without movement, action, conflict.
