We're all told to have hobbies, interests, curiosities, but there is something truly remarkable about the nature of honing in on disciplines and holding fast to understanding them as fully as possible. Classroom protocol offers little more than mandated skills to be pocketed. It's the natural pursuit of one's innermost curiosities that creates a fuller, more expanded person. Grasping one's passions with full force and total intention lends an entire boundless globe of thought and creation. It is when that inward harnessing takes place, and a person begins to envelop his or her mind and heart in what provokes he or she to action is that the potential for something new, innovative is born.

For example, the abandoning of the stereotypical, or the formula-based path can yield, and has in so many different famous cases, true growth that can be nurtured into existence by the pursuit of the human spirit. Human passion fueled all that established our present and in our present it is always remarkable to be exposed to people in our world today that have that same thread that has run in past leaders, thinkers, innovators. Individuals for example with raw passion for being American warriors, masters of literary realms, understanders of the human mind, communicators of imaginative philosophy, and preservers of community are all symbols of the true fire that sets ablaze the torch for the future.
