       The fear is, is that we think that by giving up the passion, giving up the strong desire, that we will prevent ourselves from getting that which we want. But if you stop and think about it, that really doesn’t make sense. How does desiring something strongly get us what we want? It cannot. Have you ever noticed that very successful people, whether they have a beautiful lady or a good career, have you noticed what they lack? A lot of times they lack the strong desire. By not having that inner passion, they can identify what they want and then get it because they don’t get in their own way. Let me take an obvious example that we all know. We know that a lot of times at the end of a football game, a kicker is called upon to make that winning field goal. What happens? If he wants to make the kick too badly, he ices himself. However, if he plays it like a normal kick, with little pressure, what happens? Usually he makes it.
