PASSION

STRONG

WORD

So strongit should havethe rightto claim it’s

the mother ofall words.

Some use itinterchangeably

withenthusiasm.

Others simplify itaspositive

attitude.

Modern psychologistslabel it aslearnedoptimism.

But I like itjust as it is-PASSION.

PASSIONis

immeasurable

Like itoughtto be.

But…

Even thoughit cannot be quantified…

One can say that it

diminishes…

You justfeel it

when itwanes,

Just asyou can…

When there’s a surgeofpassion

in your

veins

orheart

or brain.

Generally…

We feel theheight ofpassion

Somewhere betweenthestart

andearly stage ofan activity,

and as theeuphoriaornovelty

orexcitementof that thingfades,

So doesour passionfor it.

And whileit is not aSIN…

After all…

It is ahuman tendencyas gettingbored.

It wouldn’t hurtto be able to maintainone's passionat something

from beginning to end.

There is no magic pill

that keeps a personpassionately...

Going…

and going…

and going…

and going…

Scientistsbelieve

It is simply the powerof the mind.

All of us have minds.

quite dull.

A “have to”instead of anopportunity

or a “get to”.

For example,

A person who doesn‘t

havepassion

says such things as…

I have to goto work

today...

I have to goto the gym…

I have toclean the

house...

I have topay mybills...

By contrast,

A personwithpassionsays…

I get to goto worktoday...

Because he knowsworkthatis so muchbetter

than not havingany work…

A personwithpassionsays…

I get to goto the gym…

Because it’s betterthan being

If you are nota positivethinker...

And theresimply is no substitutefor apositiveattitude.

Passionkeeps you goingquitwhen others and gets you

through thetoughest times.

Bottom Line?

A positive attitudetranslates topassion,

And passionis thedifference maker.

Don’t letemotionsdictate your

A writer shareshis story in

a blogspot:

One day at the gym, there was a coach visiting who had worked with thousands of athletes over his long career.

Including some nationally-ranked athletes and Olympians.

Because he was popular, he was asked all sorts of questions, among which was…

“What’s the difference between the best athletes and everyone else?

What do the really successful people do that ordinary people don’t?”

He mentioned the things that you might expect: genes, luck, talent.

But the next thing he said surprised the gym-goers around him.

“At some point,” he said, “it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day…

And doing the same routines over and over and over again.”

It sure was adifferent

wayof looking into things,but itperfectsense.

Flashbackto the“firsts”

“

We’ve established earlierthat

passion

is highest at thebeginni

ng and/or duringthe early

stages ofan activity.

Who doesn’t get thrilledduring

a first?

Want to bring

backthe passiontha

tfizzled?

All it takes is a

tripdown memory

lane.

Remember your first day on your

first job? 

How you spent the night tossing and turning

practicing in your mind what kind of smile you’ll

bring to the office?

Or what one-liners you’ll throw at the

guys?

Or what shirt you’ll wear?

And how, when you arrived, you can’t wait to get things started and get

things done?

How about the first time you received

your first paycheck?

Remember the afterglow that the feeling of (finally) becoming a useful citizen gave you?

How can you forget how early you came to work

the day after you received your first

paycheck?

And how you finished your report two days ahead of

the deadline?

How about the first few weeks (or

months) of being in a romantic

relationship? 

Ah, there was always that spring in your step, the sparkle in your eye, a

musical tone to that voice, and that pleasant

disposition.

You never seemed to run out of sweet

nothings to say cute little romantic gestures to do to your significant

other, either.

It’s amazingwhatpassio

ncan do.

Now,if you can

rememberhow passionate you are that

time,chances are,

You can bring it backto the same leveltoday and

sustain it,

or in life

be it in love,in

business,

in general.

Passion is the

energythat keeps us going,

that keeps usfilled withmeaning,

and happiness

and excitement

and anticipation

Passionis apowerful force,

That allows us all to

livebetter lives.

Remember,
