Passion

Success is not an accident. The difference between people who produce positive
results and those who do not is not some sort of random roll of the dice. There are
consistent logical patterns of action, specific pathways to excellence that are within the
reach of us all. We can unleash the magic within us. We simply must learn how to turn
on and use our minds and bodies in the most powerful and advantageous ways. Have
you ever wondered what a Steven Spielberg or a Bruce Springsteen might have in
common? What do John F. Kennedy and a Martin Luther King, Jr. share that caused
them to affect so many people in such a deep and emotional way? They have been
able to get themselves to consistently take effective actions toward the accomplishment
of their dreams. But what is it that got them to continue day after day, to put everything
they’ve got into everything they do?
There are of course many factors however I believe there are fundamental character
traits that they have cultivated within themselves. Characteristics that give them the fire
to do whatever it takes to succeed. These are the traits that can insure your success as
well. Trait number one: Passion. All of these people have discovered a reason, a
consuming, energizing, almost obsessive purpose that drives them to do, to grow and to
be more. It gives them the fuel that powers their success and causes them to tap their
true potential.
It’s passion that drives the computer scientists through years of dedication to create the
kind of breakthroughs that have put men and women in outer space and brought them
back. It’s passion that causes people to stay up late and get up early. It’s passion that
people want in their relationships. Passion gives power and meaning. There is no
greatness without a passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an
artist, a scientist, a student, a parent or a businessperson. Discover how to unleash this
inner force of passion within yourself.
