"I would rather die of passion than of boredom."I had an interesting discussion with a friend the other day about finding work that feeds the soul. And as we were chatting I realized too few of us are doing that. We're letting ourselves slide into the groove of doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff, without ever feeling - really feeling - anything remotely approaching passion.
Vincent van Gogh
The prospect of this saddens me for a whole lot of reasons, primarily because we haven't been given enough days to fritter them away on nothingness. Pursuing your passion may indeed expose you to a greater degree of risk - of falling flat on your face, of losing what you had in the first place, of diverging from the path that others may have laid out for you, whatever - but never taking steps toward whatever it is that fuels your soul strikes me as the greatest risk of all.
Your turn: What feeds your passion?

I like taking nature pics, Carmi.
As far as why we are separated from our passions, I think it's because we live in corporate cultures devoted to generating the most profits per worker bee.

Very few find work fuels their passion...they must find it elsewhere, I am afraid.
I completely and 100 per cent totally agree with you. Spending moments of our everyday life with our passions can fill in the blanks, if we dare!
