Passion

Passion is a powerful or compelling emotion towards something such as a person, activity, or group.

Passion is valuable to me because I believe it helps us understand our “why” in life, gives us a purpose, and a provides a deeper meaning to our existence. Passion is what drives people to wake up every morning to provide for their families or allows us to sincerely enjoy the work that we do. It serves as the underlying purpose for our motivations or actions and gives us something to live for. I personally think that people without passions lose themselves and may turn to other negative behaviours such as drugs or alcohol to fill a void within themselves.

Passion is expressed through my behaviour everyday as I engage in an activity or surround myself with people I authentically enjoy being with. Having passion is what can make life so enjoyable and it’s one of the reasons why I hardly ever feel bored at any given moment.  Passion is a value that I may sometimes have excess of as there’s many things that I enjoy but not enough time to fully pursue them all. At times this can be a drawback to my character as well because I find it hard at times to focus and master one passion, skill, or activity.
