Last Tuesday on my Live Internet Show “SuccessfoolTV,” I interviewed my mentor & passion expert Gary Zelesky on the 10 Commandments of Passion. The response was great so I wanted to post this video on my blog & will continue to post my shows on this blog.

Here’s the 10 Commandements:

1. Wealth: If your Passion is not part of what you do you will never be rich!

2: Career/Business: You must build a career/life around Passion to live without regret.

3: Attitude: Your Passion for life will affect your position in life.

4: Significance: If you do not define your Passion someone else will!

5: Responsibility: Do what you must while you focus on your Passion.

6: Balance: Core values are the difference between Passion and Obsession.

7: Time: Manage your Passion not simply your time.

8: Resiliency: Passion never dies it only gets buried through negativity.

9: Goals: Your goals without passion are fantasy!

10: Enthusiasm: Passion is the fuel of the soul that moves your goals forward to completion.

Enjoy!

My wife and I decided to relax at the house on a Friday night, order some Macaroni Grill, and watch a movie.  My sister in-law told us that we “had” to watch the movie “August Rush.”  I was a little hesitant but ended up giving in.

The movie is about a young boy, August Rush, who grows up in an all boys school having never met his parents.  For some apparent reason, he believes that he’ll find them one day by “following the music.”

While in this boy’s school, the other kids think that August is a “freak”and pick on him for believing that he will find his parents one day (as they have no hope themselves).

In the midst of the environment and what the kids around him are doing, August says something very interesting, “Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you.”

My question for you is, What has the world been trying to knock out of you?  What is that thing inside of you that you’ve been burying because of what the world has said about you?

That thing inside of you is your Passion!  Passion is that thing that you would do regardless if you got paid to do it or not.  The problem is that so many people have allowed their world and their environment  define their passion for them.  I call this, “Passion Spoilers.”  If you don’t define you passion folks, someone else will!

This week I’m going to be doing an interview with the Passion Expert, Gary Zelesky.  Gary released a book earlier this year called the Passion Centered Professional.  He’s an author, speaker, and probably one of the best communicators I’ve ever heard.

Stay tuned this week for this interview with Gary as he sheds light on how to find your Passion.

Aside from your environment, What are some other Passion Spoilers?
