When we lead - and live - for a higher purpose than ourselves, it is as if an intense fire is ignited deep within our consciousness. We draw on this fire; it releases a surge of energy and ignites our enthusiasm. It transforms our personality to one that is truly attractive - drawing followers to us, and drawing from them their full support. Thus are long lasting results achieved.
"Champions aren't made in gyms" said heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, whose dominance transcended his sport. "They are made from something they have deep inside - a desire, a dream, a vision." Conversely, Dennis Rodman, the flashy basketball player whose performance never matched his obvious potential, said, "I can score 20 points if I want to, but that is not my desire."
