Sara - Good show, I’m glad that you enjoy your bumps as well as the glide. Real life stumbles and shines. Tell your daughter to play until she can’t any longer. Life is a sport for those of us who find our groove.

Tom,

This post was perfect timing for me! I’m seriously considering what I want my next passion to be…it’s simmering right now, but I’m confident it will emerge soon.

My favorite line in this post is, “That bold being [in you] wants to experience all the necessary bumps, disappointments and scrapes on the way to really living.” THIS IS SO TRUE.

Also, regarding the rugby, my daughter is so like you, except she’s an Ultimate Frisbee person. She’ll do anything to get out there and play….unfortunately sometimes her body says NO, but as soon she can, she’s back at it:~)

Dot - If you dare to dig I’ll gift you with an exploratory session to discover your authentic sweet spot. You have a big “it” just like we all do. But you’re right you’ve got to identify it to go for it!

Kathy - Yep passion on the pitch is so powerful and like most good things I stumbled on it. I love following hunches and exploring the possibilities.

Suzanne - Amazing isn’t it? No matter how much we express ourselves there is always more to unveil. You keep at it. I like what I see so far and even if I didn’t so what! We gotta be who we are.

Stacey - Thanks for telling us the story of your evolution. I’nm so pleased that you’ve cleared the noise. The world needs you as you are - giving your all from your heart!

Patricia - I absolutely love your courage. That’s the beauty in this c blogging community. Everyone tells it like it is and goes for what is meaningful. Right on! I’m dropping the pounds as well.

Tom,
Great post and thank you for the motivation this morning on my Want - the Biggy!
Hey for another month and a half we are the same age! and hopefully for only another week - the same weight! Only I am 5′9″ and don’t wish to play rugby.

Loving one’s self is such a powerful thing….You go guy! and so will I….damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.

You always know just what to say! Like Brett, I love the motivation from your posts. It’s funny because when I left corporate three years ago I started my business offering one thing…then I listened to all the noise around me and freaked out thinking what I was doing was “wrong” and would never make me any money…now it seems I’m coming full circle, in a very evolved way, to what my heart really loves and is similar to what I started with, just a little bit different and even more fun for me. And hopefully even more useful to those around me.

Not an easy task to clear the noise…lots of work in the process…but man does it feel good!

[...] Tom Volkar, one of the coaches on line, wrote that one needs to think about the “BIG” Thing you want to do in your life and get this out of your head and your heart and put it out for the world to see and for you to work towards. No use in thinking small. [...]

“Somewhere in your life right now is a dream, a passion, a quest or simply an enjoyable pastime that you may have set aside because “they” said that you should. To hell with them! Be your own bad ass self and dust off your true desires.”

Seventeen years ago, I experienced an “ah ha” moment that planted a “to hell with them!” ~~seed~~ garden in my life. Turns out, it was like bamboo…no visible evidence of growth for a long, long time…but then WOOOSH! Up from the ground I’ve come these last few years. In all kinds of amazing ways in all areas of my life.

Being my own bad ass self is what some would tell you I’ve been up to all my life. Well…they ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!!

I’ve committed to this wild ride of MY OWN creation and I’m having one helluva time! Every day I’m a better mom, a better business person, a better friend…a better ME, and it’s all because I let go of giving a shit what others would think or say and asked MYSELF what do I think? What do I say?

Instead of being “full of myself” as I had feared becoming if I let go and lived life on my terms like this, I am more compassionate and tolerant of others, and it feels good and fuels my progress.

Tom - you rock - as always.

The absolute WORST business ideas are those launched in pursuit of wealth.

On the other hand, the absolute BEST ones are those launched in pursuit of passion - okay maybe a better word would be OBSESSION!!!

Why doesn’t it surprise me to know that you’re a Rugby player? I should have known that your passions run deep AND wide!!!

Great advice - as always!!!

I’d go for it, too, if I could just figure out what “it” is. I was not trying to channel Bill Clinton with that sentence. Dot´s last blog ..Comment on My Mother Has Passed by Davina

Tom,

My pleasure - you’re a true warrior, and you’ve made amazing progress. I’ll have a look at that book too.

Give ‘em hell Tom!
