Passion

Hi,

I have been thinking...
What must a man do to find out what his true passion is...what truly rings a bell deep inside...what gives goospimples at the end of that day...? Is there something which we can tell them to give them hints on how to go about hoping to achieve this task of slightly high order?

Your thoughts on this will be appreciated.

To start with, "This passion is definitely a real world thing" , otherwise you can never achieve your passion.

There is a good amount of chance that you have already done this (either in your real life or imagination or dream) [eventhough it was in your imagination/ dream, it doesn't make it unreal]. You will just have to "realise" this thing that you have done.

Most often it turns out that one passion induces the other. Hence people are passionate about different things in different order. for eg, i like eating.... but i need a lot of things to keep this passion alive, like finding out ways to make money to pay the bill. so I turn passionate about engineering and start studying it.

But after all, one cannot pusue the passion 24/7. I get bored of my primary passion, the mind wanders to enjoy the pleasure of "you-know-what- all-young- guys-want' .

Mathematically modelling, the plot of all real "verbs" vs "passion" turns out to be a "sinc" funtion [(sin pi*x)/(pi*x) ]. The negative values mean that, you hate doing that "verb". Eg. I hate exercising.

The above is just a two dimensional representation. A three dimensional visualisation is possible by considering "varying degree" of verbs. For Eg: passion for eating italian food, passion for eating arabic food.

Ofcourse there is a time dimension too....so basically the passions change with time (otherwise you will nolonger be passionate about it (you will get bored).

1) Life goes on with the seach for "passion". Some think that they found it...some keep searching for it. At the time of death, one realises that "the most passionate thing that he was going after" is "The Life". "Living/Life is the passion of not just humans, but all the living organisms varying from bacteria/palnkton to lion/dinosaur) [After all we share the same genetic code :)]

2) What you are doing right now is what you are passionate about. So stop searching for it There is no use, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW IT. Otherwise, it is like searching a book all over the place, when you are holding it in your hand.
