""You have to find things that you're passionate about to drive you," asserted former rock-and-roll musician Lee Mars. "That's an important factor in getting kids engaged, whatever that may be, so that they can thread the needle and keep going. You have to get the fire lit to keep it going." Wise wisdom for young people to achieve true lifetime meaning from a guy who enjoyed success in a wide-ranging musical career."
"Adolescence is a swampland of tough challenges that can throw teenagers, including athletes, into lifelong disarray if they fail to "thread the needle" through difficult obstacles to discover a true passion that empowers their ultimate life meaning. Setting the Stage Before taking a deeper dive into Lee Mars's insights, here's some background context. This is the final installment of a three-part series reflecting on the youthful years of a pair of rock-and-rollers-Lee Mars and John Bell."
Lee Mars urges young people to find passions that drive them and ignite sustaining motivation. Passion serves as an important factor in engaging kids and enabling them to "thread the needle" through obstacles to keep going. Mars achieved success as an early member of Nine Inch Nails and worked as a sound engineer for artists such as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eric Carmen, Silk, and Jessica Simpson, and on film and commercial projects including School of Rock. Adolescence presents tough challenges that can lead to lifelong disarray when teens fail to discover a guiding passion. John Bell, frontman of Widespread Panic, similarly exemplifies navigating youthful challenges toward meaningful careers.
