Passion is one of my favorite words - it represents a certain attitude towards the way we live our lives. I can recall not very long ago when my life was completely null and void of it - I clearly remember how mundane and pathetic I felt - no direction - no inspiration - no excitement. Without passion it’s easy to fall into a boring and meaningless existence - How I ever allowed myself to get to that point is beyond me but I’m happy to say those days are gone forever - today my life is full of it - my passions run far, deep, and wide - starting with my family I find there is nothing better than the joys I experience being a father - the challenges we face in raising a family and creating harmonious relationships are far from easy but well worth the efforts.
To have passion in what we do for a living is a must - I implore everyone, men and women, young and old to search long and hard for work that you can be passionate about - having to get out of bed everyday to go to a job that you don’t enjoy could very well the first nail in your coffin - we hear about so many people that despise their jobs - for me this would be a travesty and a prison sentence. On top of finding a job you love it is very important to have hobbies and extra curricular activities that illicit the same excitement - I find the easiest thing to be passionate about is helping others - one of the 7 disciplines is ‘Serve’ - there is something magical about doing things for others without expecting something in return - and the easiest thing be be passionate about, for anyway is having a connection and relationship with God - there is nothing more satisfying and nothing that I have found that brings you more peace than that unwavering love that is always there for us. Live your life with passion there’s no better way!
