Define Your Passion: Health

Frank Yang and Determination

In a previous post I had mentioned my three main passions.

To start things off, I make health and fitness a key foundation to life. To live a better life.

Health is important to me because of the obvious:

• To maintain a fully functional body without a need for outside support
• no more medicine
• no need for a walker as an elder
• to just feel good
• To look aesthetic. With a great appearance you tend to:
• feel better about yourself
• help build confidence in ways you didn't feel possible

To dig more into why I value health is because of how it can define who I am. I see so many people always saying they want to lose weight or be more athletic, but usually end up giving up because it's too much work. I feel with the one body you are given, why not try to progress. I would even go as far as saying evolve into a more perfect individual.

Development of my body bleeds into other aspects of my life. One thing I focus on is muscular development (bodybuilding), because I like the idea of being able to sculpt my image. Bodybuilding takes time and has no short cuts or a single instant solution. Even with steroids or HGH, you have to put work in regardless.

Bodybuilding has helped to teach me how to apply:

• Patience. Bodybuilding doesn't happen over night
• Dedication. You have to put the effort in to see muscles grow
• Knowledge. You have to truly understand why it works to be effective

My health has given me more insight as to how I want to live my life and has also shown me that if I truly wanted something I would work for it until I obtained it. If I wanted to lift this certain weight, I would get there. If i wanted to have the best sculpted physique, I would continue training. You learn to build better desire.

Working on my health defines my:

• Desire to understand my body and myself better
• Desire to never give up
• Desire to keep moving forward
• Desire to continue living so I can keep doing the things I love

Be determined to reach what you truly want

Admitting Weakness

There are a lot of things about me that have really held me back from achieving much. The one main flaw that I can admit to is my lack of dedication.

To be able to accomplish anything, is to focus on what you want. 

My passions in life have been 3 things:

• Health
• Technology
• Music

The only problem that I have come across would be that I lack the ability to put complete focus which I want to advance in first.

Another cousin of mine had told me, "You work well in all different aspects, but you aren't truly good in one thing. Its nice to be a jack-of-all-trades, but it's better to be a master in one."

This started to force things into perspective and now I find that I have wasted time scattering my attention. 

In order for me to reach success, I have targeted my health and physical well being first.

Though many people would ask why don't you focus on your career, or your financial situation. I feel it necessary to focus on the values I care about and fit my work around that. I take health into consideration only because of the possibilities of how it can affect the way you perform and how people perceive you.

My focus on health and fitness provide:

• more energy
• stress relief
• aesthetics
• and a way to track self progress through my own body

One way I look at it is even with the best car, home, job, and even friends, most of them wouldn't be worth while if poor health was keeping from enjoying it.

If everything you had was to be taken from you, the last thing you would have for yourself would be your health.

My next focus and my next passion would be technology. Not only because I enjoy the reward of building computers or working with software, but because its one thing in life that continues to advance. If you don't follow along, you will just be left behind.

My final passion and focus is music. Simply because it is something I enjoy, as well as find a means to express myself.
