How Purpose and Passion Make a Better Life

How Purpose and Passion Make a Better Life From the time I was very young, I've been drawn to living a passionate life - no matter what gets in the way.  I've also had a solid purpose to impact people's lives while living a passionate life positively. Something can be challenging to archive 100% of the time. But isn't that the point of Passion and Purpose? Isn't it something that you just DO?
