Are you passionate?

Hopefully you'll agree with me that passion is contagious. Is there anything as passionate as somebody rooting for their favorite sports team and they manage to score in the last few seconds to win the game? Can you recall when your favorite team was down by one score and they managed to score as time expired? What a feeling it is to pull out a victory at the last second.



Here is a question for you. When was the last time you had that much passion for your family? Do you get the same feelings in your stomach when you see your family as you do when your team is marching down the field to score in a crucial game?



It's cool to be passionate and it's natural that you love your family so why is it that we take our families for granted? What is really more important? If our children are our legacy why do we not act like it?



Is it ok to get short with our kids when they interrupt "the game" on 4th and goal? Is it ok to shhh them when we're on the phone with a colleague at night while at home? Is it ok to ask them to wait while we check twitter? Of course not.



Let's be passionate for what matters.
