Passion: “intense emotion: intense or overpowering emotion such as love, joy, hatred, or anger; intense enthusiasm: a strong liking or enthusiasm for a subject or activity”
I do not believe that children feel or understand passion, not to be confused with love for any person or thing. When we hit our teens, I think we begin to feel passion. When I was in my teens, I began to have “crushes” on boys. At the time, I remember thinking that I loved one boy or another, but in reality, I think it was actually passion beginning to bloom within me.
Also, in our teens, the most important thing in the world to most of us was our friends. We were passionate about our friendships as we began to mature and distance ourselves a bit from our families. Most of us returned to the strong family fold later, but during our teens, they were not as important to us as our friends.
As we continued to grow into adults, many of us developed hobbies or got involved with sports about which we become passionate. My late husband was passionate about fishing and hunting. My current husband is a “car nut,” building and looking at classic cars at every opportunity. Some people cannot get enough of watching football.
In my late 20’s, I became involved with genealogy. To this day, many years later, I am passionate about my family history. I research my family whenever I have time to do so. This passion is only for my own family. I want to learn everything I possibly can about them, how each person was related to each other person and how far back in history I can trace them.
When my husband and I were married (20 years this coming New Years Day), I introduced him to genealogy. He loves it nearly as much as I do, and together we have traced one branch of his family back to the year 636. Yes indeed, he is now passionate about genealogy as well.
I worked a variety of jobs throughout my life, but I never became passionate about my career. It was simply a way to earn money and support my family.
In February, 2011, however, I joined a network marketing company called Xpress Healthcare, and for the first time, I am passionate about my work. I often spend 10-12 hours a day working on my business, but the time just passes, because I love what I am doing.
I am passionate about helping people save money with our discount savings plans, and using the plans, I personally save an enormous amount of money each year. Even more than Xpress Healthcare’s products, I am passionate about growing a team of affiliates who are also passionate about the company. It is a thrill for me to watch them build a business and an income and to watch them grow themselves, learning new skills and stepping out of their comfort zones to try new and different methods of marketing the business.
Looking back over my life, I can see how passion can be many different things, as the definition at the top of this page indicates. It can be nearly any strong emotion, both positive and negative. The emotions evoked by passion keep us alive, striving to always do more, have more, see more and feel more.

 | | This blog has been around a while. So many of you have read and commented on it. Thank you all so much. |
| | |  | | Julie, great blog. I to have begun to realize what it is to be passionate about something, like my job and also my new networking business. Thanks for sharing. |
| | |  | | | |  | | Good blog, Julie. When we love what we do, we just don't feel like it's work. Thanks for sharing this! |
| | |  | | | |  | | Great blog Julie! So many people in working in corporate positions never get to feel passion for what they do. I'm a so glad that you found yours. |
| | |  | | Great Blog! If you are not passionate about what you do you are really wasting time. Thanks for Sharing. |
| | |  | | Thanks for sharing those great transitions of passion. Great blog. |
| | |  | | Julie, looks like you've discovered your passion. Love the reflection on your journey from childhood. Sure makes one think. Thanks for this insightful and motivational blog. |
| | |  | | Thanks for sharing another superb blog Julie. Passion is a force that drives us to be better at what we do. Without that passion, what is there really? |
| | |  | | Thanks for this post, Julie. Passion is indeed necessary and welcome in this day and age. |
| | | | | Thanks for this post, Julie. Passion is indeed necessary and welcome in this day and age. |
| | |  | | Excellent point of view. It is good to have passion but passion does necessarily mean good judgement. Most forget, whether you are in network marketing, direct marketing...you need to have business mind. It is all about working smart to make more with less. Thanks for good info. |
| | |  | | Julie - this is such a fabulous article! It really stirs up some reflection and evaluation and most of all, appreciation for the value and the beauty of passion!! Thank you! |
| | | | | You are all so kind to read and comment on my blog. I am glad you enjoyed this post. |
| | |  | | Following passion is necessary in business as well as life. If you do what your passionate about it doesn't feel like work. Since my work days sometimes span 36 hours I am glad I love what I do. |
| | |  | | “Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” |
| | |  | | Absolutely great blog post Julie, I wanted it to go on. Have a great weekend, go look at some hot rods, and GO IBO |
| | |  | | Great blogpost.Thanks for sharing the great content. Have a great time on ibo. |
| | | | | Theresa, I love your passions! Both very worthwhile. Thanks for all your nice comments. |
| | |  | | That is what is missing in most our lives; finding something that gets us up in the morning rather than the ritual moan and groan we do before going to our jobs. Thanks for reminding us that life is indeed made for living and to do that it takes passion. |
| | |  | | Passion is what gets most of us out of bed in the morning, but sometimes we don't realize it. Great post. |
| | |  | | Passion drives us to do things we love and often things that matter! I am passionate about painting which I love to do, and also about helping teens in foster care and in bad situations - something I am driven to do because I feel it matters and can make a difference. Excellent post Julie! Thank you! |
