Live with Passion may be my all-time favorite Wisdom of the Warrior principle. I received several reminders on this principle on Thursday. Many people wonder how I can manage 2 flying careers, a family, and several entrepreneurial endeavors? I pursue each with passion and a humble recognition that its okay if everything doesn't get done right now! I have several core values that I don't waiver on daily: time with kids, spiritual/personal growth, and a quality workout are a few, but outside of that I pursue each task and goal with sincere passion and sleep well knowing I gave it my best.
My wife gave me an outstanding short book today that really drove home the delicate balance between loving and living passionately and maintaining some serenity. I highly recommend it and add it to the list of Wisdom of the Warrior recommended reads:
Dance While You Can by Lance Wubbels. "To Dance... I will stop looking back with regrets... or looking forward with fear... and give the Best I have today."
Thursday also brought us another welcome visit from a living example of Living with Passion, my college classmate, Greg Lipinski. Greg joined me at the 9th Grade football workout where I treated the kids to some Tabata and Ab Ribber X and then did some Crossfit with me at the Reeman home gym - where I am now training a few clients! Greg reminds me of another quote from the book Stephanie gave me, "While I can still dance...I will celebrate the realtionships I share and never take them for granted. I will treasure them as one of life's sweetest joy's."
