Passion, yea I bet your thinking sex! Well, that's a good thought or two or three. But I'm actually referring to that "thing" that motivates you to lose track of time because you are consumed with doing the "thing", the "thing" that makes you smile just thinking about decadently stealing time to do the "thing". Now granted one could still find sex as the correct answer for that criteria but we'll discuss the finer details of that passion in the BODY section.

Finding and embracing your passion can turn your life completely around. In ways you just can't imagine. I must be honest; it took me a very long time to "find" my passions. The truly ironic thing, after I got there I realized that all of the things that gave me that special zest for life, I'd fallen in love with when I was a child. It's funny the things we don't remember until we get there.

I can highly recommend taking the journey. I must warn you that your friends and family will probably think you are crazy and do annoying and insidious things to thwart your efforts of self exploration. Most people are rather content in letting life pass them by, unless someone in their inner circle starts driving their life in fifth gear then, well, and then it's like putting a mirror to their face. They see their reflection of complacency and that can be annoying and disconcerting for a lot of people. Now their intentions aren't to actually make you unhappy they just want the mirror to go away. Occasionally, you'll find that you actually motivate someone. Sadly, though, I've had to choose to just let friendships go so I could live my life to the fullest. It doesn't mean you stop caring about the person you just put the mirror down.
