As some of you know Danica Apostle achieved success and fame through her victories in the Indy Car Series. She was only the ordinal woman to contend in the Indy 500, a marvelous achievement. In classic underdog and come from behind fashion, Danica finished in ordinal place. This was the same as her starting position. In 2005 she won the rookie of the year award. In 2006 she won the Spokesperson of the year honor form The March of Dimes foundation.

Throughout here Indy Car career, Danica has always been a great fireman and has scored highly. She has quickly moved up the ranks in order to establish that she is no inferior qualified to race than her male counterparts. Many people scoffed at her want to gain entry into a male dominated sport. The issue with Danica’s emergence into NASCAR is not her want to contend in a climb that has been traditionally male, but rather her indecisiveness to the matter.

After announcing her want to race in NASCAR, some were curious as to whether or not she would be able to compete. During her prototypal race on February 13th, Danica was involved in a 12 car crash. Danica later spoken that NASCAR was very arduous and contains some intricacies. I admire her dedication to automotive racing, however I would same to saucer out that the true champions of our time, archangel Jordan, Jerry Rice, Cy Young, and more were all one climb athletes. They chose their climb and made the conscious selection to dominate that field. I believe that had Danica stuck with the Indy Car Series, she may hit been one of the most dominating racers in the league.

Planning a vacation on a motorcycle is one thing, taking a 4000 mile spin in 10 days is a test of endurance. The right gear is necessary considering the amount of travel room you have on a bike. A good set of saddle bags should be sufficient to store everything needed. This adventure started in July from the west coast of central Florida at 4:30 in the morning at a bar called “Peggy’s Corral”.

Day One: Having stopped at the gas station next to Peggy’s we saw the owner “Rip” and told him we would see him on the next Saturday when we returned. Our plan was to be in Mass. in three days for a yearly bike club rally. The itinerary was to travel approximately 500 miles a day, camping in State Parks or campgrounds. The first day was great. We traveled nearly 800 miles found a campsite in South Carolina, pitched our tent, unrolled the sleeping bags and rested our weary bones.

Day two: Rising early, the day started out good but we ran into rain early. Slipping into our rain suits, we ended up wearing them all day. Blinding heavy rain slowed us down considerably. Not getting far we decided to hunker down in Hazelton, PA to and dry our gear.Day three we made it to our destination by early afternoon and rode into a party going full swing. That night was the reason for the trip and we enjoyed it tremendously. We pitched our tent right there and rose early to continue our adventure.

Day four After we left our friends in mid northern Mass. we headed for Maine. That afternoon we had lobster on the docks in York Beach and continued Northwest. The White Mountains in New Hampshire has fantastic scenery and the views are breathtaking. Needing some rest we decided to take it easy and got a room in Conway New Hampshire. Staying at hotels started breaking into the cash so we were glad to have a credit card.

Day five We rode our bikes to the top of MT Washington (tallest in the NE). We traveled the breathtaking Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountains into Vermont. That night we camped on the Canadian border at Lake Memphamagog in Newport Vermont.Day Six the decision to cross over to Canada was made. Our destination, was Montreal Harley Davidson so we could acquire tee shirts. With our newly acquired shirts in the saddlebags we headed south back into the States and that night was spent at a campground on Lake George, New York.

Day seven we traveled all day and spent the night in a Hotel in Hazelton PA, again that credit card cam in handy.

Day Eight we traveled the Cherokee Trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains and camped in Lynchburg Va.Day nine was spent traveling through the Carolinas and spending the night at a campground in Savannah GA. Dinner at the Red Hot Blues Barbecue was the highlight of the evening.

Finding your passion is about more than just fulfilling your cravings or desires. There is a difference between passion and desire. Passion that comes from your natural tendencies, or what can be called “purpose,” is not dependent on your circumstances. You can tell the difference between the two because of how you feel when you do the activity. Doing activities inline with your passion that comes from purpose will make you feel energized, alive and make you want to continue the activity even more. You can lose track of time, become obsessed and maybe even have to give yourself time limits on how much you engage in the activity. You are like an addict.

On the other hand, doing activities that fulfill desires that are circumstantial can make you feel satisfied and content. The more you do the activity, the more satisfied you become and less interested in continuing the activity. One example of this is the love of babies or small children. Someone whose passion is to be around them might want to run a daycare center or be school teacher, whereas, someone who wants to be a parent will feel that deep desire fulfilled by birth or adoption.

Your true passion is like a soul-mate activity. It is the thing that makes you feel alive when you do it. Recognizing your passion that comes from purpose, or your natural tendencies, can often happen if you think about what you would want to do if you had all of your needs and desires met. If you had all of the money in the world, finished traveling and had all of your wishes and desires fulfilled, what would you want to do with your time?

Some people say they have a dream or passion about something at which they are not very good. Just look at the American Idol tryouts. Everyone thinks they are the best. But they often have not taken any time to learn or train to be the best. They have a desire but not a real passion. People who find their true passion often want to be good at what they love. Wanting to learn more and putting forth the effort to do so is a natural part of pursuing your passion.
