Find Your Passion, Reach for the Stars

Passion is the driving force that propels people to achieve greatness. ~Mickey Maguire

The quote above is from my latest book, Ninja Mind Tricks (Take Control of Your Life with the Secret Mental Powers of Japan's Shinobi Warriors).

If you are passionate about what it is that you are doing you will do it better. You will go farther. You will give it all you've got. You will achieve more.

It's true, passion is the driving force that makes you a winner. It is what separates a champion from an also-ran. 

There are lots of great actors in the motion picture industry and in theatrical productions around the world, but the performers who win an Oscar are the ones who reach for the heavens.

Jimmy Stewart poured his heart into his performance as Jefferson Smith in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and I cannot imagine anyone else in that role. Charlton Heston played Moses in the Cecil B. DeMille's motion picture classic, The Ten Commandments. Again, I could never even imagine anyone playing that role other than Heston.

Passion is the key to reaching the pinnacle, the zenith, the highest height.

Find your passion and reach for the stars.
