Una questione di passioni di Lifes

Its been over a week since my last post and I have doing some serious reflecting. Reflecting on Life, Love, career, where I have been and where I want to go on this crazy rollercoaster ride called "my life". I guess the common thread I stumble on in each facet for myself is "Passion", You must have Passion in "whatever" you do , in your relationships, and oh Yes since this after all is a dedicated Fitness Blog- In Sport- whichever it may be . Instead what I see when I look around is a "numb", over medicated, unattached,uncommitted and way unfit society of people without any perception that we should be doing our best each day to learn and love "La Dolce Vita"- You may never be rich, be a big executive, or a pro level athlete- who cares! But why not enjoy what you "do" have?
I truly believe this is because we have "disconnected" ourselves from the rat race and uncaring world we have helped create. I had a teacher back in high school who influenced me more then than I realized, Mr. Caruso (Cardinal Dougherty H.S.) "Anything worth doing is worth doing right"! I will in now simply change Right to passionately..
Written across the class wall- Thanks My Caruso
and I think Francis Albert may have said the very best of all.....

All or nothing at allHalf a love, never appealed to meIf your heart, never could yield to meThen I'd rather (rather) have nothing at allAll or nothing at allIf it's love, there is no in betweenWhy begin then cry, for something that might have beenNo I'd rather (rather) have nothing at allBut please don't bring your lips so close to my cheekDon't smile or I'll be lost beyond recallThe kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weakAnd my heart may go dizzy and fallAnd if I fell (I fell) under the spell of your callI would be, caught in the undertowSo you see, I've got to say no, noAll or nothing at all

Ok, Sometimes its even hard for someone like me to live La Vita Dolce, But look around on a sunny day, I mean turn off the Cell, take a deep breathe and WOW! Bellisimo!

Well one lesson, Do not stress over things you have No control of in this life, just what you do And single or married, thats ones self! Thats it, so relax :-)
