WHEN PASSION & PURPOSE COLLIDE
Yesterday the 911´s engine blew up. Close to the finish of the second stage and after a super fast day, one piston failed, probably because the mix was running to lean. Not being prepared for this, we had to abandon the race. This is motorsports too and, although it breaks our hearts sometimes, it will not affect our passion.
Passion fuels everything in life: our energy, our ambitions, our actions. It shapes the lens through which we see the world. That lens helps us see (or miss) the opportunities in front of us and help shape our purpose. Our potential is unlimited. The way to realize that potential is to crank up our passion inside us on high and never let up.
Our passion shapes our purpose. We are all created to make an impact and our passions define us, mold us into who we are. Once a person knows his true purpose there is no stopping him. Purpose gives us confidence, makes us fearless. Having meaning in your life is one of the most powerful forces a human being can be driven by.
And those two in combination – passion and purpose – affect your attitude. When you know who you are and what you want to achieve, your attitude shifts. It makes you sure, unstoppable. At that point you know no failure, you accept no failure but the path that gets you to your goal. You don’t sit around fearing failure, you are forging the path forward even through mistakes along the way. Are there times when you are frustrated by your trials and errors? Absolutely. Are there times when taking a wrong path sets you back? Yes! But you keep on going, doing what truly matters to you.
And that is what’s intriguing. When your passion and purpose collide, they become a strong aphrodisiac. And that is when failure becomes non-existent.
We´ll be back!
