Passion for Life

Passion= Cause + Courage + Commitment

“Everyone dies, but not everyone lives!”

Really, what does it require for us to live? Air, water, food, money?  I would argue - a passion!  

Every morning I wake up, but the day I want to get something done... I GET UP! 

Every night I fall asleep, but when I have a plan for the next day... I go to bed!

And that is the difference between existing and living. 

Apart form some extremely lucky individuals who have found their passion, most of us are in the boat with a torch searching for our passion. Let me share a personal, real-life conversation that has inspired this article.

An aged woman: Hey, how are u Zarna?
Me: Yah, everything is good but I am waiting to find my passion.

An aged woman: Though, make sure it is not too late. You know, one day u will turn 40, and your life will slowly start sleeping away; then, you will realize that your true passion is... life itself! When you are in your sixties, all you would want to do is ... LIVE few more years...then, just few more and then few more!

That's when I realized that Life itself is our #1 passion! 

We may be on a scavenger hunt searching for our "passion" without realizing that we are already living one!

Still, just to calm down all those people bombarding us with, " find ur passion", " life is nothing without passion", etc...etc... Here is my insight into how we can pave our passion. Because in my opinion- passion, like other virtues, can be developed over time. It is a combination of cause, courage and commitment. And by this definition, anyone who develops a courage to commit to a cause, can develop  a passion.  

So, its as simple as A, B, C. Just pick a cause, and develop courage to commit to it. In this ever so messed up world, we may run out of resources, but we will never run out of causes to fight for. If you are in doubt, check out this innovative initiative, "pick a fight" started by everyday people like you and me. http://www.pickafight.in/
