“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”
~ Joss Whedon
Our passions can be something that are born out of frustration, they can come from pain or joy, they can be something that affects us on a very personal level.
It can be something as close to us as our family. It can be something much bigger than ourselves, such as peace.
Our passions become a vital part of us. They are what drive us in our reason for living. They are the things that give us a sense of purpose and a greater hope.
“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.”
~ Proverb
Do those who are closest to us know what our passions are?
Do they know WHY these things are our passions?
Let those close to you know what’s important to you, what drives you, what consumes you.
Ask yourself these questions to help guide you in sharing something so important to you:
What are some of my passions?
Why am I passionate about these things? Why do I pour myself into these passions?
How do these passions affect the way I live my life?
