Love.

by Gary Kobat.

The Fire in Your Soul that Fuels Your Life.

Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, starring Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes.

What do you really want? Are you pursuing something you love and want passionately, or have you gotten stale and leveled-off in performance? What really excites you to move forward? Are you ready for a breakthrough, or are you holding back? Are you living life on-fire, or just lukewarm?

Are you worthy and willing to change?

Significant increases in human performance, quantum leaps, are an act of love, a passionate statement of who you are, how you care, and how much you believe in your future. Higher levels of performance and happiness are driven by the love, passion, desire, and deep precious reasons that live as a fire in your soul; a fire hot enough to protect you from the chilling effects of anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Only love can create that kind of heat.

One of the most mysterious energies in the world, love is a force so powerful, so electric, so compelling that, once you have felt it, you will never want to live without it again. Could it have been anything but love that inspired Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel? Could it be anything but a brave heart and deep passion that drives Rudy Garcia-Tolson toward his goal to become the first bilateral above-knee amputee to finish the Ironman World Championship? Is there anything you value more than doing the things you love? When love flows, everything works; we even age more gracefully.

Within each of us, there is a sacred flame that is the keeper of our vitality, the guardian of our soul’s life force. This flame has the power to lift us out of the most difficult times, raising us above the seductive temptations of the past, and securing us in the wisdom and guidance of the present. We must become keenly aware of the condition of our internal flame, the strength of the fire within our soul at all times. We must protect it from weakening and, if it begins to fade, embrace steps to correct its course.

Where there is love, there is life. Love is the driving force, the fuel for your fire. Honor and hold yourself in high regard. Live your loves, and watch your life come alive.
