What is passion? The Dictionary gives us many definitions. For me, it is the excitement I feel when I am on track of the emotions connected with something I love, someone I am connected with, the dream I want to achieve, the one thing I want so bad that I start shaking when I think about it.
What does passion mean to you? Are you still passionate about something, someone, the dream you had, the company you wanted to start? Do you feel the same passion or has it changed? When did the music stop playing?
I see businesses spiraling down--where the owners and employees don't care about the customer anymore. I see couples who are still married, but the spark is not there, staying together because of the fear of ending something that used to be fun, of the financial loss, fear of leaving the little they have left. Partners who distance themselves and have lost the vision and passion for the entrepreneurial spirit.
If the passion is no longer there, what do we do? Hum, that's a tough one--because each case is different. I think that if the passion has diminished, we have two possible ways to repair the flame. One, facing the fact and do whatever is necessary to find the lost feeling about the relationship or partnership--to rekindle the fire. The other one, is to realize that you and your partner have grown so far apart that the best possible answer is to end it. Life is too short.
Some couples decide to stay together and live as friends, but no longer partners. Each one doing what they need to do and sometimes finding someone to create a new passion. Someone to provide what is missing in the partnership. I am not trying to be judgemental, been there, done that.
Can we find passion again? Absolutely, go deep inside of your soul and remember what you have forgotten. The one thing that got you excited day and night. Maybe it is time to go back and track down the boy or girl who made shake all over. The one who used to complete your sentences--when time did not exist when you two were together.
Life is about choices. Are you up to it?

It is difficult to find passion in a world that is drifting further and further away from the ability to speak the truth; plain truth, simple truth, the brutal truth. We have become too sensitive, too politically correct, too afraid to to be ourselve; We are embrassed when we ought not be and arrogant when with others. We speak like parrots, we look alike and we live in our manicured neighborhoods that also look alike.
The flame of passion is snuffed out before it ignites and it is replaced with the shallowness of a world that we have created. Aren't we so smart!
