Become/Serve

What are you passionate about?  You looked into this in Bro. Jessee's class earlier this year.  Make a list of 5 things you are passionate about.  What makes you passionate about them?  Are any of them moral or ethical issues?  At the end of our chapter in 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, we read about Gen. Billy Mitchell and his passion for flying.  We read, "He was willing to pay any price to do what he knew what right.  How about you?"  Ponder on this questions and journal about the price you are willing to pay to do what you know is right and to follow your passions.
