Passion. Emotion.
Two of the most powerful and versatile words in the English dictionary. Words that can either drive acts of kindness or acts of hatred. Words that can accomplish dreams or drive us into the ground.
These words are nouns. Meaning they are "used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things."
So what drives this state of identification? How do passion and emotion identify us? These two words are potent. They invigorate us - jolting our thoughts in a positive or negative manner. Thoughts lead to actions, and our actions ultimately identify us. So to me, it seems that words that were first simply on a piece paper lead us to do the things that define our lives.
So let's learn toward the positive side and take the only plausible cliche stance and just say it.
This life is too short to be anything but passionate.
So you know what? Find that job you absolutely love and something you
want to put your whole heart into - don't settle. Forget about the man who doesn't treat you right. You can't mend him, and he shouldn't want to mend you. Instead, search high and low for that fiery love you seem to only read about - it's out there. Make those impulsive decisions that are derived from the energy and fervor of the moment. You'll never regret them.
Fill your life with passion and emotion.
So go ahead. Live the life you've always dreamed of, make goals that seem impossible, fall in and out of love, be emotional and embrace the world.
Find what you love, and love constantly. Let these words identify and drive you. With the combination of the two, you'll be unstoppable.
