Synopsis: Passion Is More Than a Feeling. In Joyce's latest message, she issues the challenge to embrace life with passion. However, she cautions that passion must also have purpose.

Through her classic style, Joyce explains where to find the origin of what motivates and drives people to live the way they do. She will help you understand how to determine your purpose and discover the passion to fuel it.

Each chapter offers timeless insights from Joyce about why people are placed here on Earth and what role they are to play. She offers I DARE YOU action points like "Check Your Motives," "Do What You Love," and "Dream Big!" with lists of tips for rising to the challenge.

Joyce also explores ways people keep themselves distracted from their purposes and extinguish passion. She identifies eight ways individuals waste time:

· Worry
· Guilt
· Trying to change what only God can
· Complaining
· Anger
· Fear
· Blame
· Comparisons

Each of these habits is a burdensome, nonproductive way to spend your time, pulling you away from what should be your focus. By discovering what invigorates and inspires your mind, body, and spirit; by finding direction and focus for your finances, your emotions, and your energies, you will receive the determination to fully realize your potential. Joyce dares you to try, and she will show you how.
