Purpose and Passion
March 30, 2009 by Joe Gigantino
Last Thursday I was so inspired after hearing a talk from the CEO of a company called TriVita, that I started writing this blog right there on my yellow pad in the midst of the meeting. “Purpose” and “Passion”, he kept saying it over and over. I knew right then and there what my newest venture would be. I thought to myself, “I have helped thousands of people get into shape over the last 20 years in the health club industry, and now I want to help millions get into shape using the Internet.”
I decided that it was time to launch a new blog site: www.theworkout.com where I can speak to millions of people about the benefits of exercise and staying in-shape. I will have it up and running in the next 60 days – my commitment to you and to myself.
My Purpose: To help others achieve what they want out of life.
My Passion: To motivate people to start working out.
This new blog will help me accomplish both my purpose and my passion. Have you ever thought about what your purpose and passion is? A great way to start is to ask your self, “Why am I here?” “What special talents did God give me that I can share with others?” For some of you, it might take some time to think through. And for others, it may hit you like a bolt of lightning, as it did me while I sat in the chair listening to Michael Ellison speak. Whenever it comes to you, write it down, look at it, read it to yourself and read it out loud. Put it in a place where you can see it daily.
I have been living my purpose and passion, but it wasn’t until I heard someone else talk about theirs that I took action and wrote mine down on paper. I now have that piece of paper in my wallet and will always carry it with me.
As you read this, I hope you’re also thinking about your purpose and passion. If I can help anyone of you get started on a workout program or help motivate you to keep going with your routine, please let me know. If you are having trouble with your purpose or passion, I have a few things that might be helpful in getting you started.
Enthusiastically,

One thing that I have learned in energizing my passion and pursuing my purpose is that being fit and leading a relatively healthy lifestyle would afford me the energy to do it as well as I could. Looking forward to the blog, Joe, Thanks…
