The Fire

Passion--the key element in achieving greatness.

Passion is the fuel by which dreams are allowed to transpire. Take away passion, and all that is left is a book of unrealistic fairy tales that will never become reality. Passion is never satisfied with second place and is never moved to quit of failure. Passion presses on with no regard of circumstance or situation.

Passion--it's the force that drives you outside at night in the middle of a storm with a kite and a key. Passion--it's the force that differentiates a man standing and a man flying. Passion--it's the force that makes you pick up your battered body and play one more quarter. Passion--it's the force that distinguishes first and second place. Passion--it's the force behind any great man.

Dream all you want. But if you want your fairy tale to be etched on your life pages, you are going to have to be the spark that ignites the fire.
