Passion; A strong feeling or enthusiasm toward a specifc feeling or an activity.
How odd how over the years our passions change.
When we are a very small child we really don't have a passion for any speicific "thing". Thats because we are so busy learnng "everything". We don't have time to slow down and single out a specific want or need. We just want life to be good and to be happy and to be loved.
Then in our pre-teens we have learned that there are specific things that we enjoy. They are usually activitys that we enjoy doing. They are mainly things that challenge us, allowing us to find our potentials and capabilitys. We are still learning what life is all about and what makes ourselves "tick". But all the while the basic wants are that our life is good, we are happy, and that we are loved.
In the teen year we have come to understand that there are so many things in life that are attainable that we are confused in figuring out exactly what we want. So to take a break from the confusion we choose one or two activities to focus on. In a way it's a way to escape from "just to much to have to choose from". At the same time, it is usually something that we have found we are "good" at, which helps to identify us. which is what every teenager wants, to be noticed. Because even in this great time of confusion we are hoping that our life is good, we are happy and we are loved by someone.
In our mid-years unfortunatly many of us become so busy making a living, raising a family, and trying to keep everyone else happy that we forget our own passions. Our work becomes our passions. Unfortunatly too, in many cases we don't realize what has happened to the point that we forget that what we really want is just for our life to be good, that we are happy and want to be share our love.
In our "vintage" years life has finally slowed down a little bit. The responsiblities are not as many, We have done what has had to be done. We have come to the point that we can start thinking about what we are really enjoy. Those things are not the same for all of us but thats what is so neat about making it through the years, because now we can again return to doing what makes us feel good, makes us happy and now give us the chance to be loved. Which is really what we all wanted all along, the three things we have always been passionate about.
So... for you are who are somewhere along the phases and times in you life. Good luck... I hope that you too reach what we have finally attained.
It's not going to be easy.. But it's damn well worth it.
