Passion

Follow a Path Passion

Passion: A strong amorous feeling.

Do you have a passion? Are you following your passion? Without following or having a passion for something, anything really, what are you doing with your life? Just going through the motions? Well not this guy, and hopefully not you once you’ve finished reading this week’s blog entry.

Having a passion is the driving force to get you to your goals in life. Whatever those goals may be: better job, better home, better car, more money, etc. We all have a lot of different goals. But for the point of this post let’s just focus on health and fitness goals.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that all of you know what my passion and goals are for health and fitness. Just in case you don’t already know, my goal is to do whatever it takes to become an IFBB Pro Mens Physique competitor. That driving passion I have to achieve that goal gets me to the gym to push harder each day, even when I’m tired and really don’t feel like it. It’s that passion, that drive that stops me from making the wrong choices against my meal plan. Without passion you have nothing.

So what is your passion? I want you to think about it. Think about that driving force, that passion that fuels you. Think about your goals, what do you want to achieve? Now think why those goals are your goals and why do you want to achieve them? The answer that you just gave me is your passion. Use that answer to fuel you.

There are going to be the days when you are tired. You had a long day or you don’t feel like it, blah, blah, blah. Whatever excuse you want to give to stop yourself from going to the gym. When you feel that way reach down, grab your passion by the balls, step it up and put in the work. Doing that right there will separate you from 90% of the population; you’ll be that 10% that actually achieves and maintains their goals. You will achieve your goals whatever they are because you kept your passion and your drive going. Remember it’s that strong, amorous feeling that is going to get you to your goals.

Stop making excuses for yourself. Stop second guessing everything you do. Realize that it is going to take time, it won’t happen overnight. Stay the course and follow your passion. Remember why you are doing what you’re doing and why you have your goals in the first place. Never forget that, never surrender, and never retreat.
