I find people with passion great to be around. It doesn’t matter if it is something that I share a common interest in, or if it is something I know nothing about. People who have passion are filled with energy. 

The other night, a good friend arranged for a visit to the Observatory for my birthday. It was a lot of fun. Our guide was Jeff and he was a bit of a character. He shared with us a lot of his knowledge about the solar system. The planets, the stars, telescopes, his BMW M3 with the power chip. This guy loved to chat. I was pretty impressed as I always thought astrologers were nerds. This guy was a nerd but with personality. He made things easy to understand. 

I couldn’t help but get swept up in the subject due to his enthusiasm. It was infectious.

It made me realise how important it is to be energetic. Having energy and a sense of purpose is one of the greatest traits you can have.

It’s through being contagious that you get people to join your cause. I’m sure most of the world’s influential leaders over the years have had great energy around them.

Not that I am saying Jeff will be a great leader, but I do credit him for reminding me to be contagious.
