Everyone believes that we will be more fulfilled if we live our passions. And all of us know people who do. Perhaps you look with envy at those people who seem to have found that passion and live it.
Shari Caudron felt that way too.
But rather than being envious, she started talking to people about their passions, and it turned into a book. I haven't read the book, called
Who Are You People? yet, but I have just ordered it.
Her blog got me thinking about our passions, and the role they play in a highly actualized fulfilling life. Her book and blog seem to talk more about our passions as hobbies, as opposed to finding our passions in our work. In the end when and how we exercise and tap into those passions matters far less than that we do it at all.
Once we find and live our passions, it will illuminate all parts of our lives - making us happier and more productive across all parts of our lives.
It is our responsibility to ourselves to find and live our passions. It is our responsibility to others (those that we lead or are on teams with) to help and encourage them to do the same.
I leave you with the questions... what are your passions....and are you living them?
