Is finding your passion really that important?
I think at a certain point in everyone's life we are left questioning "Is this all there is?". For most of us the daily grind of getting up, going to a job that does not excite or motivate us, and then coming home and repeating the cycle has left many tired, frustrated, confused and wondering if it is actually possible to find our passion in life.
Finding your passion is finding that thing, or beautifully entwined combination of things, that really gets your blood pumping, mind racing with excitement, and heart singing with joy. It about believing that you are able to be, do, or have anything and then going for it.
The trick to finding your passion however is how to find it?.Take time, still your mind and listen to your heart. It truly is trying to speak to you. Be patient and kind to yourself and above anything explore. Explore your world and build experiences.
At times it may feel as though you are searching for a needle in a haystack but it is through all those different interactions and experiences that you will begin to discover activities that really energize and excite you. Once you have found one, two or however many of those, incorporate them into your life on a daily basis if possible. Make sure you get your dose of joy as often as you physically can, it is from those moments of happiness and bliss that the greater you is able to emerge.

Quotes about finding your passion in life
If you have ever felt such tremendous enthusiasm and desire for something that you would gladly spend all your waking hours working on it, that you would happily do without pay, then you have found your passion.-- Sharon Cook & Graciela Sholander
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
-- Author Unknown
Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.
-- Joss Whedon
The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
-- Earl Nightingale
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
-- Author Unknown
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.
-- François de la Rochefoucauld
Chase down your passion like it's the last bus of the night.
-- Glade Byron Addams
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
-- Harold Whitman
