2 were incredible and 1 was a dud

When I talk to people who are unhappy with their life one common denominator is that they aren't living with passion. I'm not talking about finding "your life's passion" or "living your dreams", I just mean living each moment and doing each thing with feeling. Going along on autopilot, or trying to walk that line down the middle of the road so you don't upset anyone is not a way to really enjoy your life.

Let's face it, not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone is going to agree with you. And if you don't stand up and do things with energy and passion you won't like you either.

I'm sitting in a local coffee shop and listening to one of the owners, Mike, talk about the singer on the radio. Mike has seen him in concert 3 times and is talking about how amazing the show was. He went on about the dancers and the stage set up, then he said something that really caught my attention, "One was a stinker but the other 2 were incredible!" and his whole face was lit up.

Wait a minute - one of the concerts was a bomb, a total dud - but the other 2 were so intense and incredible that they blew the dud away. The singer was doing what he did with total passion and the greatness of that overshadowed any problems that could come up.

Whether you're running a business, raising kids or just living your life, do it with passion! The greatness will overshadow the problems by 100 to 1.
