The Passion Test : The Effortless Path To Discovering Your Destiny - Janet Bray Attwood & Chris Attwood

"There are two great days in  a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why." - William Barclay, Scottish theologian and author. 

The number one reason people don't get what they want, is because they don't know what they want. 

1. Clarity is critical to success. Clarity leads to power - the power to act - which is the basis of achievement, fulfilment, and happiness in life. 
2. When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extend that you are clear. 
3. What you put your attention on, grows stronger in your life. 
4. Whenever you are faced with a choice, a decision or an opportunity, choose in favour of your passion. Put a rubberband on your wrist, and pull it, whenever you make choices against your passion. 
5. Your life is created first in your mind, then in your world. 

This book covers:

1. The Key to creating anything you want in your life
2. A little about the authors
3. The 'inner work' this book guides you through and why it's critical to your success
4. How destiny and passion go together

Mantra by Bill Levacy:

Intention - Attention - No Tension

• Intention: Consciously stating what you choose to create in your life is the first step to manifesting it. 
• Attention: Give attention to what you choose to create in your life, and it will begin to show up.
• No Tension: When you are open to what is appearing in this moment, you allow God's will to move through you. When you hold tightly to your concepts of how things should be, you shut off the flow of life, which in turn prevents you from enjoying the fulfilment of living your destiny.

Step 3: Rate each of your top 5 on a scale of 0 to 10, 

If your score is any where between
