Passion is More Than You Think
Oh sure…you think I’m sending this out because it’s February, thus Valentines and hearts and sweets and goo goo love stuff must mean I’m feeling the need to write about passion. Well, that’s partially true. Of course the infamous commercialized holiday does bring to mind thoughts of love and passion. But passion goes much further than candy hearts and roses.
I get that passion is a heart/head/physical thing that causes us to act incredibly insane and lose all sense of reason or logic. But I believe passion is more than that. I think it’s critical to our daily existence.
Passion drives us. Passion makes us pick up the phone to listen to a friend who has just won a major award. Passion makes our heart hurt when someone special has a disappointment. Passion makes us get in the car and drive across town in the rain to see the Eagles play in concert one last time. Passion gives us hope when we listen to some of the greatest minds out there share their life experiences with us. Passion makes us work harder to buy that extra something or other. Passion brings us to our knees in a moment of crisis. Passion makes us root for the underdog. Passion makes us want to pummel someone who would hurt an animal. Passion causes us to open our checkbooks for a country that has suffered devastation we will never know. Passion makes our heart stop when the “right” one walks in the room. Passion makes us smile when we remember a priceless moment that can never be recreated. Passion makes us say “I do” when the media continues to remind us that 60% of them end in divorce, because people don’t value commitment and real, deep, irreplaceable, incredible, true love. Passion makes us love our children until our hearts could burst.
My friends…Passion makes us throw all caution to the wind to start a business during the worst possible economy when we have listened to a hundred people tell us the statistics about how most businesses fail in the first 2 years. Passion gives us the energy to get up every day and do whatever it takes to keep the doors open, people employed, customers happy and the future brighter each moment. Passion makes us want to make a difference.
People say we can’t live without food, water, exercise, money…but really….what value do any of those things have if we have no passion for them.
See….passion is critical.
