Find Your Passion. Put It To Work!

Passion is a powerful thing… that deep, driving force that propels you to pull an all-nighter.  It’s what makes your eyes light up and your heart beat faster just thinking about it.  It is what makes you tick.  In fact, your Fitbit most likely reflects your passion by logging an increased heart rate when you focus on it. You know what I am talking about!  Surely, certain people in your life evoke feelings of deep love and admiration. They light your fire.  They are the ones with whom you trade those precious three words, “I Love You”… only to respond with “I Love You More.” And, back and forth it goes.  What we give and what we get from the relationship fuels our soul.


Picture
Now think of a something for which you have passion.  That thing you believe in with all your heart.  The one that makes your eyes light up and your heart beat faster.  The one for which you will work hard for free (read: volunteer!) in order to impact those directly affected.  Do more of THAT!  Seriously!  Find that thing that creates a physiological response in you; the one that makes your mind swirl with possibility.  It could be an opportunity to raise money to end childhood cancer because of a personal experience.  It might be a chance to impact homelessness in your own community.  It may be an occasion to speak up and have your voice be heard on a controversial issue.   Yes, that thing!  Act on that.  This Valentine’s Day, I challenge you to channel your passion in a positive direction.  Become engaged (not enraged) and volunteer your time and talent.  Put your ideas into action.  Volunteer! 
 
Passion can turn stress into energy; helplessness into productivity.  Working hard for something you believe in is passion.  And it might be just what we need to bring our communities together, focus forward, and leverage our talents for the greater good.  What are you waiting for?! Get started.
