  1. I want to hear this. We really need it especially we are under the Enhanced Community Quarantine and need to stay at home.

  2. “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

    It’s about finding your authentic self
    The one you’ve buried beneath other people’s needs

  4. Such a great speech. I think it’s very difficult to follow passion but maybe the route of weekend grind while doing a job or doing a full time struggle for passion then weekend work seems like a good way of working on a passion if low on funds. Finding a true passion is tricky itself so glad it was explained here… What makes you happy plus skills make for a good passionate career. Kudos to Esther and Musa…. inspiring people

  6. Questions:
    1. If you had all the time and money in the world, what would you spend your time doing?
    2. What truly makes you happy or give you a deep sense of fulfillment?

  7. This is the sort of talk I really need at this time of my life, navigating through the challenge of having quit an 8 years career and tearing down the limiting beliefs that have arised in the process. THANK YOU for conveying it in such a powerful and inspiring way, Noeline.

  8. When you start to incorporate your passions into your daily routine, you cease to work and start to live. And the thing about living is that you never have to retire or resign. -Noeline Kirabo

  9. 1. All the time and money, I would be the king of my people.
