This past Sunday, Cindy (my wife) and I spent the day riding our bicycles around the lake and over the mountains at Lake Tahoe, along with our 19 Gateway Chapter teammates and coach who all participated as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training (TNT) program.
Our fastest teammate, Lynn, finished the 100-mile ride in five hours and 17 minutes, and our slowest teammates – Larry and Karen, a husband-and-wife team – took more than twice that long, finishing in 10 hours and 35 minutes.
While I can appreciate and respect Lynn’s athletic accomplishment of averaging just under 19 miles per hour for 100 miles through the mountains, I am in total awe of the dogged determination it took for two self-admitted nonathletes to spend more than 10.5 hours on the saddles of their bikes.
This week’s tip is about the importance of passion. Whatever your goals, personal or professional, you must have passion for what you do.
What is your passion? What drives you to succeed? If you had just ridden your bike 82 miles (already 12 miles farther than you had ever ridden before) and were starting at the bottom of a 1,000-foot ascent to 7,044 feet, upon what internal strength would you draw to climb that mountain?
Find your passion and you’ll find success.
Have a great week!
