PASSION – How to Find it and Keep it
Perhaps it is best to start this chapter with Webster’s definition of passion, focusing on what I like to call vocational passion. Passion is distinguished from reason. It can be an intense, driving feeling or conviction. Passion can be a strong liking, desire or devotion to some activity in which one has a deep interest. With passion, there is intense emotion, which brings compelling action. Passion is enthusiasm applied to an activity that is lively and exciting. Passion is an energetic and unflagging pursuit, aim or devotion to a cause one perceives as important.
Now, take a moment and write down what comes to mind when you think of your passions. Look again at the above definition. Don’t write down what you think you should be passionate about or what someone else thinks you should be passionate about. Write down what you are passionate about! Now examine your list. How do you know if you are passionate about these things? What internal signals do you sense when you think about these passions? How would you feel if you were never again allowed to spend time on your passions? What would this do to the quality of your life?
What if you don’t know what you are passionate about?
