One of the most powerful engines
of passion is faith in an external agency. Though faith may seem to have been
marginalized in today’s seemingly rational society, it still works behind the
scenes in many areas.
Religion plays a dominant role in
the lives of millions of people in the world today. Priests, nuns, monks,
sadhus and mullahs are known to accomplish tremendous feats of social work and
penance. Their faith in God and their religious ideals is the rocket fuel in
their lives.
The term evangelical fervor come
from a passion driven by a belief in God and the desire to convert other people
to your way of thinking. This passion has sent explorers out to new lands,
triggered numerous holy wars and changed entire demographics and cultures.
Oriental martial artists go
through harsh training regimens and become lean mean human fighting machines.
Their ruthless discipline arises from the strict codes of their specific
martial art. Their devotion to this credo and their all consuming faith in the
mentor or sensei turns their lives into passionate experiences which are not
for the feeble or faint of heart.
In modern sports we see the same
phenomenon displayed with players and their coaches. A dynamic coach can
inspire his team to put in a passionate performance. If the players do not have
faith in the coach or their fellow team mates, the team fails to coordinate and
the game is lost. The faith equation between sportsman and trainer is
particularly important in endurance sports like gymnastics and athletics.
A footballer may in turn be
driven by his faith in his fans. A corporate executive may be passionate about
his employees and shareholders. Faith, emotion and inspiration are alive and
kicking in every corner of human activity.
Which external agency are you
focusing on? God? Your boss? Your coach? Your community or country? Decide on
what moves you and use that agency as a star to guide you and drive your
passion.
Summary
Be trusting. Have faith that you can realize the full potential of what
you are passionate about.
