Eleven years is a long time. It's more than a decade. During a span of that length so much can happen. So much can take place. The world is in constant flux. Not much stays the same. Fashion trends come and go. Waistlines go down. Waistlines go up. Pant-legs go in. Pant-legs go out. Presidents—even those who serve more than one term—come and go. Poll numbers go up. Poll numbers go down. Relationships begin and end and begin again. Sitcoms begin and end and begin again. Wars begin and end and begin again. People come and go, and sometimes they even die. Despite all that has changed and all that has come and gone over these past 11 years, one thing has remained a constant.

From its humble beginnings as a newsletter in 1996, Natural Muscle has grown to become a first class fitness publication enjoyed by thousands nationwide. At the helm is its founder and publisher, Debbie Baigrie, whose pure passion has been the driving force that has made the magazine what it is today. Ford has nothing on Natural Muscle. Built on pure passion it's that passion that makes Natural Muscle tough. It's that passion that is the reason why, after a whopping 11 years, it's still standing. Passion is a powerful thing. Passion applied is even more powerful. Debbie has taken her passion, her vision, and her love of the fitness industry, and created a winning formula. She has taken bold chances, to entertain, educate, and captivate her audience. The reader's best interest is squarely at the heart of each issue she produces. At this juncture, to still be alive and thriving is quite an accomplishment. We can all take a page out of her passion play book and apply it to our own.

Pz's Pointers on Applying Pure Passion

1. Like the comfort of a blankie or an old shoe

Ever notice how we get attached to items or objects like that old pair of sneakers, that ripped up sweat shirt, or those faded jeans that have long seen their better day? Just as a baby seeks out and holds onto his blankie for comfort and solace, we, human beings, like familiarity and have a certain affinity for what we have learned to know and trust. Natural Muscle has become that familiar friend we have come to expect on a regular basis. There is just something special about it that is hard to fully explain. We rely on it to be there and for all of the past eleven years it has been.

2. Practice makes perfect

The longer we keep at something the better the chance we have at improving. It's a simple concept but difficult to sustain. The more we exercise the better the shape and condition of our body. When we stop it doesn't take long for that great shape to leave us and the hard work to disappear. Trace any accomplishment to its origin and you'll see a trail of trial and error. For those who have achieved at the highest levels of their craft, it is not without practice, practice, and more practice. Natural Muscle has developed and evolved and remains on that upward path. Although the state of perfection is relative and in the eye of the beholder—we can strive, nonetheless, for a more perfect outcome. It is through a concerted commitment to excellence that our goals become a reality.
