When people hear the word “passion” many ideas can come to mind. Some think of romance - it is February you know. Others think of what motivates or drives them.
If you Google the term, the top definition describes passion as a strong and almost uncontrollable emotion.
What are you passionate about? What topic, activity or scenario drives you to that strong and uncontrollable emotion? Cooking? Dancing? Organizing? Teaching? Travel?
We feel disconnected if our passions aren’t tied into how we’re living our daily lives.
Could it be you’re unhappy with your current career path because your passions aren’t being addressed? You have a longing need that is unmet? A burning desire that isn’t quenched?
