CHAPTER 10: PASSION
We have reached the final chapter in the Fully Equipped Playbook.
Love, enthusiasm, eagerness. Those are all words synonymous with our final tool, PASSION. Successful people and athletes often have a passion and purpose for what they do and are dedicated to goals they have set out to achieve.
Bishop T.J. Jakes once said, “If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.”
Nelson Mandela said, “There is no passion to be found playing small- in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
Hopefully after completing this Playbook, you can come to understand Mandela’s message here. That you should always demand more from yourself because you’re capable of much more than you can ever dream. You owe it to yourself and the entire world to be the best version of you that you can be.
Don’t think for a second that passion is the final tool in the playbook, because it’s the least important. I chose to finish with passion because I believe it brings each of the previous 9 tools together. If your PASSION is to be at the peak of your game, which will be the case for many who read this, then you will be able to do the following:
Find humility in your learning
Your mindset will be confident and strong, capable of handling adversity
You'll take the time to learn functional training because your body will benefit tremendously
You'll be better equipped to understand and listen to your body and give it proper time and care it needs to recover
A healthy lifestyle will be the only choice, because you have only one body and one life to live S.M.A.R.T. Goals will ignite a burning passion, and give you real attainable milestones to achieve
