rediscover my passion

I’m a runner and I absolutely love it, but this past year I have forgotten what it feels like to be passionate about it. This coming year I really want to feel what its like to experience what I’m doing rather than just busting my butt. I don’t know what this will take, but I’m willing to take the time to find out. :)

I haven’t felt passion for my work or my life for some time. Life without passion is empty to some degree, even when you have the other things in place. I think if I could rediscover my passion other parts of my life would improve as well, especially financially. Just not sure how to go about it…can’t exactly post on Craigslist “Lost: Passion. Could be single or connected with others. Reward for the person, place or thing that brings it back.”

Eh. Lack of passion has also made me a cynic. Goal: find passion, lose cynicism.

...it’s not that I ever lost my passion, only that it went a bit dormant for a time, waiting until I could have time to pick it back up again.

I’ve been writing for a year and a half about how quiet my life is and how I can’t exercise self-expression when that happens. As it turns out, self-expression is a passion and I hadn’t truly ever lost it in the first place.

I’m positively itching to be passionate toward something again. Truth be told, I do feel passion and it is toward something, but that something cannot be a true reality until at least twelve months’ hence and I’m historically impatient. I must remember that I dream and I must remember how realistic my dreams actually are…

I believe that everyone looses this and finds it again at many points throughout their lives. I have this back in a big way, college, my career, and new independence. It feels fantastic!!

It’s not that I’ve lost it, truly I am one of the most impassioned people I know, but in the midst of the day-to-day and the constnat influx of new obligations and (extra)curricular nonsense, sometimes the important things get pushed to the back burner. And I haaaate that. Must find again the balance between what I love to do and what I need to do. Must, above all things, be passionate again.
