THE #1 WAY TO LIVE A TRULY FREE AND FULFILLING LIFE December 8, 2016 © by Ronald Kern Ronald Kern © LIVING THE DREAM There is nothing more exciting, liberating, and fulfilling than doing what you love. Imagine fueling the fire of your passion daily, not because you have to, but because you want to.  I feel fortunate and blessed because I get to wake up every day and do what I love.  I worked extremely hard to reach this place, but if I can do it, anyone can, they just need some tools and support, which is why I created Passion In Action International. It causes me grief when I meet people from all over the world, who absolutely despise their careers. They dread getting out of bed in the morning, trod through the day and put on an 8-10 hour act, and then come home miserable.

THE "PERFECT LOVE" - DURING DEATH November 9, 2015 © by Ronald Kern © Ronald Kern It was a day like any other for Glenn O’Dell, at his home in a rural city in Idaho, on September 23, 2009.  “I remember it like yesterday,” he told me. “I had just finished lunch and sat down in my den with 3 or 4 pieces of licorice and all of a sudden, 'wham' in the chest. It was excruciating pain and I instantly knew it was a heart attack.” Glenn did his best to make a croaking sound (it was hard to make any sound due to lack of oxygen and intense pain), and gained the attention of his son Shawn. Glenn told him to drive to the city of Kuna and find paramedics, so Shawn loaded him in the car and off they went. Along the way they came to a railroad crossing and a train was passing through, which forced them to stop. “I remember seeing the train and it was moving so slow, I focused on my breathing, which helped me calm down,” Glenn...
