4. We would rather regret the
things we have done than the
things we haven’t done
Passionate leaders don’t take a
chance and wait. They know there
is nothing worse than saying afterwards, “I wish I could have …”
5. Our enthusiasm can move the
world when we do the things we
love
Successful leaders know that when
they truly believe in something
they speak with passion and enthusiasm, and this impacts others.
6. The universe opens the doors
when we follow our desires
Passionate leaders are not afraid to
be open about their desires. When
they share their dreams it’s infectious, and the world takes it as fact.
7. We don’t allow waiting around
to become habits
Passionate people don’t wait. They
do.

1. We are energetic and curious
For passionate leaders, every
problem is an opportunity to learn
something new. They are easily
intrigued, and excited when they can
ask questions and study something
they’ve never learnt before.
2. We love life and actively craft
it to create happiness and reach
our dreams
Passionate leaders admire the gift
of life and take an active approach
in making their mark.
3. We know that dreams don’t
work unless we do
Leaders with passion understand
that they need to do things to see
the change they want to see.

8. We infuse our life with actions.
Every time you see a success story,
it is because one passionate person had the courage to take action.
The earlier you start, the earlier you
will reach your dreams.

11. We create our own future
Passionate leaders know they are
the only ones responsible for their
own destiny.
12. Nothing is worth achieving if
we aren’t happy
Passionate people always remember that money is not the ultimate
goal. The ultimate goal is to be
happy. They don’t need to be on
the front cover of a popular magazine or ranked on a list of the richest business people. They could
simply own a small cottage in the
mountains, or work as a fisherman
in a Mexican village, and that could
be just perfect.
13. We set our sights high
Passionate people think big. They
raise their standards, and the universe meets them there. The sky is
the limit.
14. We expect the most magnificent things to happen
Passionate leaders have no one to
tell them that “Yes, this is guaranteed to work out”, but they have
unquenchable optimism that allows them to believe that the most
magnificent things will happen.

9. We make the time to create the
life we want
Steve Jobs had 24 hours a day.
Oprah and Warren Buffet have 24
hours a day. We all have the same
amount of time so stop procrastinating and focus on what matters.
Passionate people do.

15. It’s never too late to set another goal
Passionate leaders know that
not every idea will work. But that
doesn’t stop them from trying –
they know that if this idea doesn’t
work, they are still one step closer
to reaching their dream, and they
move on to the next idea.

10. We make our dreams happen
Passionate leaders don’t just dream
and say they have a big dream.
They believe, and then take action
to make their biggest and craziest
ideas happen.

16. It’s never too late to dream a
new dream
Passionate leaders don’t get
discouraged if things don’t work
out the way they expected. They
simply start dreaming a new dream.
