Every time I hear someone talk about their passion and how they would love to find a job or start a business "just" doing their passion or passions in life, it reinforces my theory of having a what I call a "Passion Driven Work Force". Right now, gas at "Ol' Saint Pump" is almost 6 dollars a gallon, the unemployment rate is at a 20 year high and we are still in war that should have never been

Wow! I know it has been quite a while since my last blog post(the last day of last year to be exact) but here it is. Last week, I had a conversation with my girlfriend about what are the distinct differences between feeling empowered and feeling motivated. Some of you out there may believe that the two are the same and that is fine but here is my take on it: I believe feeling empowered and

I hate goals; No, I really hate goals! Did I mention that I hate goals? I know that hate is a strong word but goals and goal setting is killing Americans! So, please stop setting goals. O.k., so I hammered that point into your goal-setting-new-years-resolution head of yours, goals are sooooooooo overrated. However, what is not overrated is a "true" passion for what you LOVE doing in life. Yes,

For many of us, Christmas is about giving and receiving gifts and sharing time with family and friends (the closest to you). It is a time unlike no other in the year. However, I believe Christmas is more than what was just mentioned, for me, it is the "Pre-Happy New Year!". It is like the "New Year's Eve of New Year's Eve"(kind of). More importantly, I believe Christmas is the last "Greatest

Many of us, if not all of us, should know who Paula Deen is and her story. She has been all over television lately and has written several books on her donorism in life, which is cooking. If I had a donorism award of the year (Hmm....), I would give it to the Queen of southern cooking. This lady is a wonderful example why it is extremely imperative to run after your passion or passions in life

O.k., for those out there that are wondering, what in the heck is donorism or a least what does it mean? Here you go:do-nor-ism, -noun, 1). dedicating oneself to one's passion or passions in life.It is sweet, short and to the point. Moreover, Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey's Anatomy, has put it into practice: "It is such a joy when you get to do the thing you would secretly do for free and

Music, bling bling, cars, movies, tv shows and etc, Hip Hop has influenced and remixed all of these key industries and has taken them to new heights. However, one believes that the Hip Hop culture has yet to remix technology. But wait! You are probably saying to yourself right now, what about the iPod and the Sidekick? Well, those are perfect examples of Hip Hop influences from an end-user

O.k., it was not the "I HAVE A DREAM" speech but over labor day weekend Barack spoke to yet another large crowd of supporters, this time in Manchester, NH. He seems to amaze me how he brings people out to his political rallies as if he has won the presidency already. Barack has a political flair in him that I have only seen in two other people--Bill Clinton and Dr. King. Moreover, like these men,

Today my friends, I witnessed the dead of something that should never prevail over our conscious, spirits or most of all--our hearts. I witnessed the dead of a passion for a theatre company that not only "had" potential but that had some of the most amazing actors and actresses in the city of Atlanta come through its halls of production. We must ask ourselves, what is the cause of our passions

The "O" is what they call her. Oprah for a good part of her television career has been the "Ms. Santa Clause" of giving. Now granted, yes she is a BILLIONAIRE and most of you are probably saying that she "should" be giving away some of those BILLIONAIRES of dollars. However, she does not have to. You see, Oprah or the "O" has a passion for donating or helping others. Whether if it is buying homes

Steve Jobs once said, "You can not do great things in life, if you are not doing what you love." I believe this is so true. As people, we go through school majoring or minoring in subjects we will never utilize in the real world. We spend hours, minutes even days studying for exams and tests that give us no progress in the path to our passion in life. If exams and tests give us anything, they

Vick, Vick, Vick, it is a sad truth to know what has happen with the whole Michael Vick situation-persecuted before prosecuted(showing my bias). However, we now know that Vick has agreed to a plea deal and that at some point he "will" serve some jail time. What does this have to do with Donorism? Well, it has a lot to do with it! Micheal Vick's obvious passion (I will use passion and donorism
