Live Life with Passion



I truly believe to succeed at the game of life you need to be passionate. 

No matter what you’re talking about - everything involves some type of passion. 

From the profession you’re in, your relationships, your fitness/health program, your special interests...you name it...if you’re NOT passionate about it, you’re not going to live a very fulfilling life.

Now I know this is something you hear time and time again, yet there are so many people that live their life void of passion.  They live it with no emotion, no enthusiasm, no energy, no excitement. 

And this is the same reason; they’re always unhappy and in a bad mood, unhealthy, unsuccessful with their profession, constantly fighting with their significant other and friends, neglecting their children and so forth.

If you’re not passionate about ONE particular area in your life...it can have huge impact on everything else.

I think without a doubt, the 3 BIGGIES are - your health, your relationships and your profession.  I for one, can definitely attest to this. 

I used to not be passionate about the profession I was in and this essentially made me not care about my health and made every relationship I was in suffer because I had no self-confidence or lack thereof.

Now, I AM passionate about my profession which has helped me attract the woman of my dreams and inspires me to regularly workout and be in the best shape of my life.

No passion leads to always being distracted, which leads to lack of mental focus, which leads to no drive, which leads to lack of interest and procrastination...all of which will not help you in your life.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase.."If you’re passionate and love what you do, success will follow.”  Well this saying is right on.

And even though it may be a little more slanted toward your profession, I believe “relationships” and “health” can be modeled in the same way.  Each one is interrelated.

So start living life with passion my friend.  Life’s too short NOT to!

Have a great day and until next time train hard and train smart.

Yours in Total Fitness & Maximum Success,

Jim Coughlin
