At the age of 19, I took a fall while barefoot water skiing and instantly went from hard of hearing...to deaf. 

When I climbed into the boat, I could no longer hear my friend's voices. 

As you can imagine, life took a dark turn. I had spent my life being ashamed of being hard of hearing and now I had to deal with being deaf. 

One morning, I woke up and made a decision that changed the path of my life: I decided to embrace the path instead of fighting it. I wanted peace with this new development in my life. I wanted to thrive.

Alignment. 

The moment you align with what's in your heart and soul, people show up in your life and your path unfolds. 

At the age of 44, I took up the sport again and this decision led me down another path: Passion Coaching. 

In the years since, (I'm now 59), I've helped thousands to align with passion. I teach a "Finding Your Passion" class at a major New York university. The class started out as one class and I'm now up to nine classes. 

I have had t...

“How do I find my passion?”

That’s the number one question that people come to me seeking the answer for.

My answer is simple:

You create it. You create your own Passion Path.

Passion is an energy that is a gift in your life. The thing is, most people never take the bow off. They never unwrap the gift.

Or sometimes they do, but then they put the gift on a back shelf in a closet–and forget about it.

So after working with many people on the process of unwrapping the gift of passion–I created a way to tap into the energy of passion on a daily basis:

The Passion Path.

The Passion Path is a daily journal with three parts: A question to ponder, actions to take, and a practice of daily gratitude.

There is power in writing your thoughts and creating a daily habit that brings in a positive energy into your life. When you create this new path, you set passion in motion.

Does it work?

Yes.
