Everyone has strong feelings about something. Opinions and beliefs feed the mind and soul with passion.

"If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion," declared successful entrepreneur and environmentalist Anita Roddick.

Give voice to your passions. They are yours, after all. They are what makes you YOU. Fight injustices. Stand up for what you believe in.

"Anger is loaded with information and energy," observed poet Audre Lorde.

Be a trailblazer. Become an activist and make the world a better place. The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, "All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire."

Your voice can impact policy... Write letters and make phone calls to government officials, corporate leaders, and other policy-makers. Challenge the status quo. Say what is on your mind and in your heart.

"Passion persuades," said Roddick, the outspoken founder of The Body Shop.

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts," observed philosopher John Locke.

Your voice is powerful... and important. Speak out. Now.

Don't be afraid of dissension. Just be ready for the change.
