Re: What Is Your Passion?

If I did not have any passions in life, why would I be interested in knowing what other people are passionate about?

I guess we all are, according to Bro. Robbins... If we want to joke in a serious discussion, we don't have manners. If we claim to be passionate about the Lord, he still isn't happy with that.... soo.... I guess, according to him, we are all just plain weird...

Yep, I don't mind being weird.

Re: What Is Your Passion?

I started making a list of what I am "passionate" about a few times here but never posted because it always turns out to be nothing more than a list of my hobbies. So maybe I don't have true passion either, but a lot of interests (some of which come and go) -which I find very fulfilling in and of themselves.

And that would describe me about a number of things... there are things I might like, enjoy, and find even fulfilling, but none of them are a Passion to me (within the definition of Passion my acquaintance provided).

I still submit, that very few people in this world really have a PASSION, but most have things they enjoy, find fullfilling, and like to do. I submit that a having a PASSION, is a luxury that few get to enjoy.

I agree. I pretty much understood your point of view on this from the first post or two.

So you DO view a passion as an emotion you must feel, e.g., if you're missing a strong emotion, you believe you are also missing passion.
