Thought for today:
‘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 Frederic Amiel

Yesterday, two different activities synchronised.
I was working on a leadership development workshop, how to enable people to be their best self.
How to help people – leaders or otherwise – to fulfil their potential.
In the afternoon I was interviewed by a writer – the first of three interviews – exploring how I found my purpose.
In particular, when did the pursuit of opportunity transform into passion?
Robert teased out details I had forgotten, or not realised the relevance of.
So this quote came to mind, I had to go and find it because I couldn’t remember who said it.
And now I am asking you, what was the “flint” event or catalyst that gave you your passion in life?
