I have been thinking about this a lot today. I have no real passion in my life. I love my wife with passion. My family is wonderful. But I have no real passion for anything else. Work is now a job. I enjoy reading history and playing games on my computer. Baseball and the boys sports are great fun. But none of the that is something I would call a passion. I am not sure if I have ever had a real passion.
I loved playing baseball as a kid up until high school. I was not that good but I enjoyed playing. I did not burn to be playing. There was no passion to do it everyday. High school brought band and history. Both were great fun and I put a lot into them both. I again did not have enough talent for music and did not put the time into my writing to make history work.
I have enjoyed some part of all my jobs. I really like talking and interacting with customers, guest, clients, etc but I am not a people person, just ask my friends. I am a great problem solver and organizer. I do well when writing out policies and procedures but it drives me nuts to do it. I read one of those find your perfect job books and it said find your passion. Well that helped a lot. Okey it gave me the idea for this blog.
I think this may be the reason for part of my end of year blues. Each year I get older and still no passion. The closest idea of passion I have is for politics but is that really a passion or just my liking to argue? Oh well. Any feed back would be helpful.
