Ray Lewis - Passion

Ray Lewis is incredibly passionate about life.  You can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes when he communicates on and off the football field.  A quick search on youtube for Ray Lewis and you will find several examples of what I am talking about in his speeches to teammates, speeches to other teams, speaking at funerals, interviews on tv and visiting with the sick.

Ray Lewis has chosen to be passionate about life.  Its an attitude choice for him and its a choice we have as well.  It won't always be easy and if you know Ray Lewis' story you'll understand it wasn't always easy for him.  He had several opportunities to turn bitter and be mad at the world.  Just a few examples in Ray's life was his dad leaving him at a young age, going through several years of college with 1 pair of jeans, and being incarcerated. Ray Lewis has used the events of his life to become a stronger person, willingly tells his story to inspire others and remains steadfast in his passion for life.

We may not possess the natural intensity of a Ray Lewis, but we can chose to be passionate about life.
