One of the components of a good leader as Rowie shared during summit last Saturday is PASSION. That prompted me to find the meaning of PASSION.
And I found it in the weirdest of places. While watching TV one day, I was strucked by what one of the contestants of Project Runway said on the trailer.

"This is not just a conpetition. This is my life."

That was it. Passion is something that has overtaken you such that it has become your life. Is God my passion? My life?
