Leading with Passion. Part 1 of 10

All essentials are taken from the book: Leading with Passion by John Murrphy.

Essential #1
Leading with Purpose

- This is an extremely important part of leadership. To me, purpose is the "Why" behind "What" you do. This sounds like a simple question to ask, however it is one of the most difficult things to answer. The "Why" is the feeling and emotion of what you do. Most times it can't be put into words. With that being said, you must still know it to lead with purpose.
When you understand your "Why" of what you do, you will feel it. You begin to be filled with Passion and everyone around you will feel it to. They say, One match can light many candles. When you discover your "Why" you will become that match. The funny part is you won't even know you have become it because you will be so filled with passion that it will seem like your doing nothing.

- Sit down in a quite room and start to write down why you think you do what you do. Don't hold back just write what pops in your head and what you feel. Eventually your "Why" will reveal itself. Most times is hidden in all the noise of your mind.

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1. Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt. When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.". The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same. Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back. THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you. We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward. You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort. Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1. Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...
