I have read and heard many times that if you find your passion and do it, the money will come and time will pass effortlessly. If you make your passion your job, you will love your work. Work your passion and your life will have meaning.
I don’t hate my job. I don’t love it, either. I enjoy parts of it and detest others. What does that make me other than normal? So why should I want more? I make great money. Why should I risk it all for passion?
I was talking about this desire to find my passion with a dear friend we call The Great Oz. She asked me to define passion. Good start. Couldn’t do it. I guess that is the first task – define passion.
There are several definitions for passion, none of which really define it for me. The closest is perhaps, the object of such a fondness or desire. However, this doesn’t adequately describe that for which I am searching. There is something more, something like a defining quest or reason for being involved.
So, that is my search. I hope you will share your ideas and observations on passion. Have you found yours? Is it important to you? Do you think I am tipping at windmills? Come join the ride. Let’s see what we find.
