I apparently hit a nerve over on Facebook when I posted a link to my previous post. I do wish the discussion took place on the blog, but it brought up some things I’d like to explain.
So this is how I see things, speaking of Passion & Love regarding what your life work should be:
- Passion does not equal Purpose.
- Purpose is something entirely different, but can include your passions/loves.
- Passion is not bad, just unsustainable.
- Passion can push you to do incredible things, but so can love
- Passion can grow into love, which is sustainable.
- It’s perfectly OK to have more than one passion OR love.
I’m till working on this whole concept of trying to find ways to turn some of my wild hairs & passions into sustainable “things.”
Not all of them, since I know that the Scanner/Renaissance Soul in me despises being pigeonholed, but I’m discovering a few of my interests are turning into life-long loves.
How does a passion turn into something more sustainable?
Can you craft a good life/business chasing after passions or do people need something deeper than that?
