Brandon Burchard a 35 year old entrepreneur at the age of 19 realized his passion after pulling himself out of a bloody car wreck. He stood on the hood of the car covered in blood in the middle of the night in a foreign country looked up at the stars and said thank you for the second chance thank you for the golden ticket. He New he was not ready to die and new at the end of his life he would have to answer to 3 questions.
Did I live
Did I love
and did I matter.
I am going to help you find your own golden ticket like Brandon by:
Finding your purpose
Living your passion
Meeting your potential
I am going to explain how to do that.
As Donald Neale Walsh the author of conversations with god has said. When we are born we are not given a black board that says Stuart Cline a successful bald man’s purpose is… No, our purpose is what we make of it and how we meet our potential is directly related to how passionate we are.
Passion is the fire inside of us that lights our way into the future. It is what gets us up in the morning and puts the spring in our step. It is what makes us want to live fully, love openly, and matter in the world. Lets me tell you how to find passion using the following example. If I had a 30′ steel beam 10 ” wide sitting on the ground and said I would give you $20 dollars to walk across it who would do it?… Yes! it’s a no brainier
However, If I put this beam on the top of two buildings 100 hundred stories high with wind blowing and birds flying by, and offered you the same $20 to walk across it would do it? No. Right? because it is crazy.
Now, lets say your son or daughter are on the other roof 100 stories high up and the building is on fire with the flames licking at their feet would you cross the beam whether I gave you $20 dollars or not? Of course.
So what changed? It was the WHY you were going to walk on the beam. Passion has to do with Why we do what we do. Imagine passion has a numbers scale from 0-100. The person living life with a 100% passion loves the world and is excited to be alive. This person will be able to say everyday that he or she loved, lived and matters fully. The person who experiences 0 passion is depressed, maybe addicted to something, has no drive, no goals and is a coach potato.
It is the compelling reasons behind the passion the Why we do what we do that makes us feel alive. If you want money or fame that is not a compelling reason enough to be a 100% passionate. But if your working to save for children to go to college and have a better life then what you had, or saving up to buy your parents a house so they do not have to worry about were they will be in there last day’s then yes this will be more of a passion and motivation.
Here is another story of how important the whys are for motivating people. There is a story of two wealthy men in a restroom at a fancy restaurant. Tim is washing his hands, and Joe accidentally dropped $5 into the toilet. Tim saw this and wondered what Joe would do. Joe took out his wallet and pulled out a $50 dollar bill and threw it into the toilet. Tim laughed and asked why did you do that. “Well you don’t think I am going in there for only $5.
Create your why. Make your why so compelling that you will overcome the dirty jobs and still have your eye on the goal.
I use to give speeches at toastmasters. It is a club to help you improve your speaking ability in front of others each week. I believe everyone there at toastmasters had passion. That is the only reason people stand up face there fears and pay to do it. Each speakers “why” gave them the courage to stand behind the podium and confront their fears and do it anyway.
I believe your “Why” fuels your passion helping you live your purpose and meet your potential.
It is your why behind your motivation that makes you a success.
What is your Why?
let me know.
Keep up the good work!
My best,
Stuart
