It can be easy to confuse passion and purpose, or passion versus purpose… strong desires over passions.

The primary difference between passion and desire? Consumption.

This Steven Pressfield quote addresses this beautifully.

“In other words, any act that rejects immediate gratification in favor of long-term growth, health, or integrity. Or, expressed another way, any act that derives from our high nature instead of our lower. Any of these will elicit Resistance.”

~Steven Pressfield, fiction & non-fiction author, b.9/1943

Passion and pursuit of purpose through creation is energizing, elevating and renewing. Creation over consumption fosters contentment. Consumption over creation breeds discontent.

Movement and exercise will multiply your energy, your health and your life, and that’s a big deal.
