The Pressure to Pursue your Passion
Passion is not a plan. Yet from a very young age we feel the pressure to follow it. The pressure to pursue your passion starts very early in our lives. Constantly we are questioned if we are following our passions.
Passion is a feeling. Feelings can change. Often these feelings are right for us at a certain time, but to carry it the rest of our lives it is not useful. This is really something to think about.
When you read the definition:
Passion (Greek πάσχω “to suffer, to be acted on”[1] and Late Latin (chiefly Christian[2]) passio “passion; suffering” (from Latin pati “to suffer”; participle: passus)) is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of an interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. It is particularly used in the context of romance or sexual desire, though it generally implies a deeper or more encompassing emotion than that implied by the term lust.
