Writing… with passion

I’ve written about passion recently in the blog and I wanted to re-visit that again.

Have you been watching the Olympics? I’m not a sporty person but…

for sheer passion and buzz you couldn’t really have beaten the opening ceremony. Even my friend who hates sport(except for motor racing and other associated petrol head things) had to admit that it was wonderful.

And my writing and working schedule has been re-arranged on many occasions in the past couple of weeks because I go down to make a drink, switch on the tv just for five minutes and then get hooked!

I can’t claim to have any connection with her at all apart from we both live in the same county but wasn’t incredible to see Rebecca Adlington win… not once but twice!

Sport like life is a roller coaster; the ups and downs of triumph when you perform out of your skin and disappointment when things go wrong. What I love is that they’re so committed. To watch someone who has devoted four years with one aim in mind; that takes guts and motivation.

Sport is their business and I look at mine and think how can I be committed in the same way. It is the passion which takes you through those learning curves. Through the times when you seem to be standing still and through the times when you accelerate. To get the result you want.

This month I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to achieve with my business in the next twelve months. I’ve set some ambitious writing goals and am locking in place my training schedule to get me there.

And as vital, I’m building my back up team without which no athlete can acheive.

I’ll be telling you more about my goals in the next few weeks and I hope that in achieving them I may be able to help you achieve yours.

I screamed hard at the tv every time any of our sports people were performing.  Maybe I should scream hard, in private of course, on my own behalf
