Passion. It’s that elusive word that is talked, dreamed and written about often. As overused as it may be, the truth is that everyone has at least one. The definition is subjective and we are all searching to define it for ourselves. For some it comes early in life. Others search for years before they find it. Whenever you figure out what your passion is, the next step is figuring out how to make it part of your every day. Chances are that your passion will light a fire inside you, and even if you can’t pursue it right away, it will keep burning deep down until you make it a reality.
To me, passion is the thing that makes your heart beat faster. It puts an ear-to-ear smile on your face, and makes you want to jump up and down in excitement. It’s work that doesn’t feel like work. It’s losing track of time. Passion is a glistening pool of opportunity that you can’t wait to dive back into every day. It’s worth sacrifice and changes. It’s something you can speak about for hours without notes or nerves. Passion is that thing that you truly enjoy doing. Passion is no holds barred, stepping outside your comfort zone and loving it. It’s learning new things and meeting new people. Passion is fulfillment, worthwhile challenges, and utter joy. It’s side projects and networking opportunities, and planning your escape. Passion is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It is that fire inside you that burns as a constant reminder of what really makes you happy. Stoke it until you can set the world ablaze, just don’t ever let the fire go out.
