Passion


What am I passionate about? What are you passionate about? There are a lot of things that I like to do, but what fires me up? What breathes life into me and excites me to where it's oozing out of me?


I'm not talking about being passionate for a person - I'm talking about being passionate about something that means something personal to you. Something that is ingrained in you - helps define you - shape you - guide you.


I'm missing that passion. As I think about it and identify the things I like and the things I like to do, I put too much emphasize on being perfect at all those things. Knowing I could never be perfect, I don't pursue them with passion.

Passion is a personal thing. What I am passionate about may not be what someone else is passionate about. In fact, what excites and drives me might be stupid and silly to someone else. But that doesn't matter. It's my passion.
So again - what is my passion? Maybe my passion is how I do what I do. I think that is the key - it doesn't matter what I do - it's whether or not I do it with passion.
Live with passion - love with passion - laugh with passion.
Whatever you do, do it with passion!!

Unconditional

I've been told once or twice ".....I love you unconditionally....." and never really knew what they meant by that. I can't say that I loved those who told me that unconditionally. I didn't have that feeling and I didn't know what it would feel like if I did.

As it turns out, I do have that feeling and have for quite a while. I just didn't know it. This man I love, I love unconditionally. Ours isn't a normal relationship by any stretch and many would look at me as if I have 3 heads for loving him as much and the way I do. I've been trying to define the whys and wherefores of why I care so much and of late I've come to realize there may not be a specific reason.

What I have come to realize most definitely is that I love him unconditionally. No matter what and after all these years, I love him unconditionally.
