Have you found your passion?
Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them. – Napolean Bonaparte

Our true passions are selfish. – Stendhal

Intense passion is always a little selfish. Passion has to be balanced with caring and concern for others. Passion can become empty and destructive. The drive to feel special is the wellspring of passion, but love keeps the passion pure and it leads to authentic connection and intimacy. We must know ourselves in order to share ourselves with others in a genuine way. A good life balances our own self-interests with other people’s needs. Passion and compassion merge. – Rethinking Narcissism by Dr. Craig Malkin

So, find your passion and then also find a way to share it with others. I love knitting, sewing, quilting, crocheting, cooking, playing with little kids – I love the feeling it gives me. I am passionate about these things but, what balances my life is being about to share these passions with others.
