Incredible post my friend.

"We stumble when we give primary effort to secondary concerns."  Guilty as charged!  I have to do a better job of giving the most effort to the most important concerns.

"If you can’t articulate your passion then what you have isn’t passion. It’s raw emotion. You know what you feel. Not what you think. To bring people with you, they have to feel your passion and know your thoughts."  Sometimes the most difficult thing in the world is translating what's burning in my gut and churning in my brain into something passionate and intelligent for others to grab on to!  Thanks for the reminder of how critical it is!
