ZEAL: The Quiet Fire That Changes Everything

ZEAL: The Quiet Fire That Changes Everything

Every personality test I’ve ever taken puts the word zeal somewhere near the top for me. Wholehearted. Driven. Purpose-centered. It’s almost funny how consistent it is—this theme of having a big, bright internal fire. I am passionate. But here’s the truth no test captures: Even the most zealous person gets tired.
