Wakes keeps you awake

I heard the saying once, "What keeps you awake at night, is what your passion is." I used to really take that phrase to heart and don't get me wrong, I still think it holds a lot of water. It's just that I have been really thinking the last day since our big confrontation last night with another organization that questioned my honor and respect. I've realized that that statement neglects something really important. I think it should be, "What wakes you up, and what keep you awake, evaluate these, because they are your passions." What does passion and respect have to do with one another? My passions are what drives me, pushes me to work hard, to overcome adversity because I believe in something that is worth striving for. For someone to question my respect and honor is to question what I work for ... and relates to what my passions are. Last night in less than 1 hr, a few people put all this to question, without hesitation. I've never questioned them and especially in front of 4 other organizations.

As I stayed awake last night, pondering the events, I found it hard to let my mind rest. As I woke this morning, my mind was not rested; it was full of the same ideas and thoughts from the previous night. So here I am, preparing for class, trying not to doubt myself and clear my mind. I want to fix this.... without compromising what we’ve worked for. I guess the key word is compromise.. the better question is who does that apply too
