Passion
I was having a discussion with a friend yesterday about passion. I remarked that I hadn’t met anyone who had a passion for something who didn’t wind up pursuing and getting what they were truly passionate about.
Passion isn’t an idle wish. It’s more on the order of “if I can’t have this, I won’t be able to breathe.”
Then it occurred to me that passion isn’t a choice. It’s something that chooses you.
You can certainly choose to explore new areas and open yourself up to being accosted by passion, but you won’t find it by choosing from a list of things to be potentially passionate about.
Have you ever had the experience of being out and about and something just caught your eye and engaged your curiosity? That could be the beginning stage of passion choosing you. You weren’t looking for this, but it was looking for you. That’s a clue that this is something you may want to pursue.
If you lack passion, pay attention to what grabs your attention. We often let it pass by without further exploration. It may be passion calling out to you. To find out for sure, you can schedule a few dates to see if it’s something you want to get more serious about or if it’s just a passing fancy.
Lacking passion is akin to being the walking dead. Pay attention to what’s paying attention to you. It just may be something to get passionate about.
All the best,
John
