Ages and Stages Sixth Entry

Passion is one of the strongest things that any person can have.  It may be passion for a person, for an activity, for a job, etc.  Passion is one of the things that drives us to succeed, without passion anything slowly becomes undesirable such as having a passion for cooking.  Without the passion, cooking would slowly fade out and no joy would be brought out of the cooking.  "A consuming passion is the last thing you think about before you go to bed at night and the first thing you think about when you wake up," says Brian Schwartz.  This consuming passion may be for someone you love, a job or an activity but without that certain thing, your life would begin feel incomplete.  Passion is not something that can be always forced, passion is usually spontaneous and will take practice and daily motivation to make that passion succeed.
