Passion for Passion

       This week we talked about the "Why" of things? The things that we develop passions in are typically things we have interested in and also the things we are able to succeed in. We also asked "Why" are we passionate and "Why" those areas tend to succeed? So what is passion? Is it possible to have multiple passions or can we only have one? I think that passion can be placed into to groups which are "Naturally born passions" and "Learned passions". Naturally born passions are typical passions and the easiest to succeed at but learned passions have the ability for us to grow the most. Learned passions require us to learn something out of necessity but ultimately become a joy to continue. So this begs the question " Can I become passionate about everything?". The answer to this is surprisingly no. Despite I said that people can learn to be passionate about things, you would not be able to be passionate about everything because if you did then those things would cease to become a passion.

      Passion is something that drive us to want to become better while also having the unique ability for us to enjoy doing as well. If we became passionate about everything then those initial passions would be prioritized as the same. The thing that unintentionally make a passion stand out is the fact that there are other things we dislike. But is that a bad thing? Shouldnt we be passionate about life and about everything? Yes and no. Life isnt the same thing as everything. We should be passionate about life and living but we shouldnt be passionate about everything. Passion is ultimately something that makes life worth living but if we are trying to make everything passionate then those passions become normality thus making life no longer passionate. I think the key to passion is priorities. I think that if we are able to prioritize our passions correctly then we are able to live to the fullest.

   In closing I want to share that I think that we have the ability to control our realities. I think that we are able to set a mind set that can dictate our surroundings to more desirable situations. I think, as people, we have that ability to make things more enjoyable by simply changing the way we think about things. I think once we find what makes us happy we are able to being growing in those areas and also trying to become passionate at the things we have to do also.
