I am really glad I “stumbled” on this article. I never realized that there could be another angle from which to perceive passion. Very interesting and very thought provoking for me, thanks for writing this!

Hi Evita!

Thanks for dropping by. Yes I think you said perfectly: As with anything else it depends on whether it comes from conscious awareness or unconscious habits. I completely agree and I think that should be the focal point of a very good discussion. Thanks again

Hi Gilbert

Great article. The title captured me so much that I read this one without skipping a word!

And I loved what you pointed out! It is amazing how much we tend to personalize everything, right away I thought…hmmmm how do I use the word…. but as I read your piece, I realized it was as you described in the end.

I for example follow my “passions” in life and yes those are things I am very enthusiastic about. I however do not condone behavior that is unconsciously passionate. If we lose ourselves, not even passion can save us.

And thus, I guess it is as with everything else, does your state, whatever it may be come from a place of conscious awareness, or unconscious habits – that one can ponder on.

Thanks Kaushik! I will always agree with you on the point that awareness is the key that opens up many locks. Thanks for popping in.

Hi Gilbert,
Thanks, a very clarifying article. The chase for passion/enthusiasm is the same as the chase for purpose and motivation and positive thinking and really all of self-improvement–it’s the ego’s chase for beliefs which will trump all the other beliefs and give it a unified direction. I’ve found there is much simpler way to flow in a unified direction. Releasing all of this and being aware, brings about peace, and in peace, there is abundant positivity, and enthusiasm is sometime invited.
