Our own lives naturally wither: physically, as our bodies gradually deteriorate, and often psychologically as well. Where once you were driven by the desire to raise kids or climb the corporate ladder, and where once you threw yourself into creative outlets—music, writing, art—you’re now driven by habit, routines, and the demands of simply keeping your life moving forward. Passion that once fueled your life has now withered, pushed to the back burner for good reasons.

Passion can fuel change.
