An Indicator Of Passion

I wake up many mornings, in a minor panic to write, or to speak, or to create a video, or to connect with someone who can help me (and I them) in spreading the word on authentic entrepreneurship. I have so much that I feel compelled to share that I am often in a slight terror about not being able to put it all out there before I die. Even if I live to 105. That feeling, as uncomfortable as it is, indicates my passion.

My passion and yours is just like a nuclear reactor. Once it starts, it just keeps going and going and going. It simply creates more and more heat. Our job is to capture that heat and create something useful out of it. We don’t need to worry about “fueling the fire.” We need to worry about capturing that energy and directing it to something of value. Passion is a self feeding reaction.

If you ignore your passion – if you don’t give it an outlet – it is only a matter of time before your meltdown.

  1. Just IMHO: While we are working, living, thinking we have been creating a lot of thoughts, opinions, ideas etc. Most of them is a trash and it goes to trash. But some of them are valuable and they go cycling in our mind. We can’t drop them out cause of its importance. But we are feeling like ‘overloaded’.
    There’s a wise guide: if you want to understand your’s conception – try to explain it someone.
    So when we had written out our conception we may feel free to move it into archive. If it’s good enough it will live in minds who have caught it without us. And we may do the next step.
    If the thinking and creating is your passion, the writing and explaining goes to become your passion too.
    I’m not a psychologist, you just able to ask a good question 🙂
    Sorry about my English 🙂
