“Passion for the Excellent Life” - 'Rotimi Odejayi
Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence.

The word “passion” means a strong emotion or a great enthusiasm to achieve a particular feat. As culled from en.wikipedia.org/.../passion - Passion (emotion) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing (Passion from the Latin verb “pati” meaning to suffer). The English word “excellent” means for something to be extremely good or (and) achieve an outstanding performance in an endeavour. That is, “of the highest or finest quality; exceptionally good of its kind”. For example, a student who scores ninety marks out of one hundred is believed to have excelled. The highest level of success you can think of is the excellent life. In the very words of Aristotle, he said and I quote, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act, excellence is a habit”. For anyone to excel in life, the individual must live a daily life of value adding to his or herself. The reason is because; Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence.
The unit measurement of your passion (internal drive/motivation towards your goal) is the sacrifice you give-up.
“Passion is energy, feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you” – Oprah Winfrey.
PASSION
 
ACTION
 
VISION
 
The cycle is a movement from a definite vision to a corresponding action as shown in the person’s passion.
                                                                                        
 “If you can dream it, you can achieve it” – Walt Disney.
“Whenever a clear vision and action work together, the result is usually excellent. The selfless tradeoff you make to attain the excellent life is passion, and this is shown through your self-discipline” – ’Rotimi Odejayi                  
“We must act out passion before we can feel it” – Jean-Paul Sartre
“All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire” – Aristotle.
“Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant…It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Your mind is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, you lose it. Continuous learning and personal development is the minimum requirement for excellence…It is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of a diligent choice.” – Brian Tracy

For anyone to achieve the excellent life, He or she must live with Passion!
