The Power of Passion Improving this single attitude makes your days fly by. You wake up excited to work. You make the right decisions. You get more done in less time. Improving this attitude affects everyone around you. They believe in you, trust you and want to support you. This one attitude can change your entire life for the better. Your Passion On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you right now? Do you really, truly want to succeed? Are you thrilled with your goals for today? Is your passion at 8, 9 or 10? If not, you must learn to generate more passion for your work, your career and your life. Leadership To succeed you must be a leader, if only a leader of one person: you. "In all great leaders there is a purpose and intensity which is unmistakable." -- L. Ron Hubbard Have you noticed how the best speeches of politicians, ministers or actors always include high-volume intensity? Their passion is unmistakable! You also see this in the most successful people you know. Fortunately, you can generate all the passion you need to succeed. You have the ability to motivate yourself; to concentrate on your purpose; to get yourself excited about what you do. Your attitude sets the mood for everyone around you. They get excited if you are excited. For example, recommendations you give to others that come from your heart have a much bigger impact than recommendations you give with no passion behind them. "A man who merely wants to be liked will never be a leader. A broad examination of history shows clearly that men follow those they respect. Respect is a recognition of inspiration, purpose and competence and personal force or power." -- L. Ron Hubbard There is nothing stronger than a leader with a firm direction and passion to get there. Your Purpose When you organize all of your energy, your resources and your activities toward one focused goal, you not only feel more joy in what you are doing, you get more accomplished. To do this, you need to follow a purpose. What makes you passionate? For example, for which of these objectives can you generate the most passion and intensity? * Reaching a specific goal * Accomplishing a certain level of perfection * Earning the money to buy something you really need or want * Going back to an original purpose * Beating a challenge * Filling your life with as much happiness as possible * Fulfilling a duty to yourself or your family * Helping a great number of people * Creating a superior reputation * Building a highly-successful business * Helping others achieve success * Becoming the best at what you do * Hitting a specific production target * Making a positive impact on society Once you select a purpose or game for which you can be passionate, go for it! Get intense! Use it to help you generate personal force and power. Use your purpose to overwhelm all obstacles and barriers. Stay focused on your end results. Never doubt your ability to win the game. Create all the passion you need to succeed. Provided by TipsForSuccess.org as a public service to introduce the technology of L. Ron Hubbard to you.
