how do you find your passion?

Question

i love art, but it goes in spurts. i love sports, but they seem to be seasonal. i LOVE to dance, but you don't find many opportunties doing that here. i love to play and joke and be the center of attention. my kids are young and i don't want to lose any passions that i might have already while waiting to pursue them. but if you're not certain any of those things are really your passion, what's a good way to discover it? and how do i hang on to the small one's with other important priorities that come first?

Answer 1

i have problem with that. finding my passion and the first person is exactly right. It's not all about entertainment its about helping other people too.

Answer 2

There nice hobbies is why its hard to keep passion with them. Passion needs fire, which is to say it needs purpose. The purpose of passion is compassion. And all this activities you talk about put your compassion soly on you. Not to cool, I know you said you like to joke and be the center of attention, but that is just for you own sake. Your missing the most important reason why you do art and sports, which isn't just to put yourself into a flow. It should be to improve yourself so that you can be a better person for those that you love in your life. Also you have to realize that humans can do alot of nifty stuff, we can make stuff, we can break stuff, and most importantly we can love each other. Which is what I see your lacking, yea you've got kids your planing on givein some passion too but what about your friends and family? Do you really think the way society puts all these nice hobbies in front of us, is all there is? Time to show some more compassion for your fellow man and realize that most of the people out here are suffering, it isn't because were starvin, it isn't because were stupid and lazy, its because we've also lost the compassion for each other. We need more people that take the time to actual listen to a person's story, to actual care about were they came from and were there going. You seem like a person who is happy with themselves, could you help some else feel that way? I'll tell you if you go thru the paces it well take a heck of a lot more of that heart then sports, art, or dancing. I mean you should love people outside of yourself more then you love what you can do with yourself right? I mean whose a better person an artist or a teacher? A dancer or a doctor? A sports icon or a councillor?I mean people need enteritainment granted but if you want to put yourself into something that is really intense, do what you can to really feel for those around you and bring them up to your point of personal comfort. Now that would take some passion. And you might feel a little bit more complete....
