So many things have been on my mind these days. People, places, passion, love, hate, career, kids, future, present, past, friends, happiness.

What’s important? I’ve had several conversations with friends lately about passion and the consensus is that the way to happiness is to have passions in your life. To find what you feel personally passionate about and take every opportunity you come across to allow you to live out that passion. It seems, if we have a passion, then we have an identity, we have a goal or a purpose, we have a love that can’t die. I think a lot of people use relationships to have passion in our lives. But as we all know, the passion in relationships eventually dies out and that leaves us without a passion.

It seems, those people without passions in their life are almost dead inside. They’re lost.

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
