What is passion to YOU?
...Is it a LURVE-thing?
- Or is it simply the 'fuel' you need to live a successful, and stimulating life?
- Or is it both of these and more?
Well, you'll find quotes, poems, and articles to help you make up your own mind.
As for me, I believe a fulfilled life awaits us all - in love, in work, in friendship... we just need to want it! I'll explain below. Oh, and do share YOUR views, as always - this is the Self Help Collective, remember!
P-a-s-s-i-o-n is...
doing what ignites
the fire inside
of you!
(Isn't it?)
Passion

What I say...
Confession-time: I am not the most pashonate person in the world!- So I don't go gaga over goals (of the
football/soccer kind);
- I don't talk tirelessly about the big issues of the day
(deforestation, global warming, third world exploitation...);
- And I don't particularly have a burning desire in the romance department... (my poor partner, eh!)
But maybe there is more to it than fervently following your football team, supporting a 'cause', or being 'head over heels' in love.
Maybe it's about how you live your life every second of the day - how much attention you give to everything you do. Maybe it's about what Oprah says below:
"Passion
is energy. Feel the power that comes
from focusing on what excites you."
--
Oprah Winfrey
Or maybe it's just about finding, and living your life your way, and not somebody else's.

ASIDE: I know a lot about living my own life, having my own values and beliefs, that's for sure. I also know it takes a lot of courage to live your life this way - your way! This is one of the main reasons I created SelfHelpCollective.com, if the truth be known. Interestingly - and you may already know this - I used SiteSell's internet business-building service called SBI! to conceive of and create SelfHelpCollective.com. Yep, SBI! is a great way of using 'what sparks you into life' to transform your life - of turning knowledge into income, so to speak, as this SBI! page explains!

Or maybe it's about a life (and love) that can be summed up by a poem or a stirring quotation thus:
"You
know that when I hate you, it is because I love you
to a point of passion
that unhinges my soul."
-- Julie de Lespinasse
Or, maybe, it's all of these things. (How did you know I was going to say that, eh!)
Yes, maybe this magical word can simply
be summed up by these words:
love,
finding and living by your own P-A-S-S-I-O-N-S ?
Don't
ask me! I
certainly don't know it all! In fact, I'd love it if you shared
your thoughts on this subject (please do)!
