This “Week of Passion” started after watching a speech Elizabeth Gilbert gave with the suggestion of not living a life of passion but instead to be willing to flit among your various interests. Her message is more complex than that, yet I think my summary is adequate for my present purpose here.
Passions
Passion For A Long Life
When I was 10 the idea of being 21 thrilled me. Why? Because then I could drink and vote. That would be perfection.
Curiosity Thrilled the Cat
Curiosity has given me so much in life. Without that unbounding curiosity I’d know and feel so much less. Treasures abound with a curiosity-filled life.
Food Passion
I’m passionate about food. I’m especially passionate about eating healthy, organic food. That passion hopefully overcomes the passion for sugar and junk food I seem to have. I’ve gotten to the point that if I really like a food, I figure it must have sugar in it — and I’m usually right. 🙂
Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)
Following your passion is the common advice given to people to help them on their path to success and happiness. I wonder, and hear others wonder, “How do you do that?” because I don’t always know which zeal to use on my path to accomplishment and satisfaction. You may have that same question or concern.
