Comments on Go Graham Go! |: What's Your Passion?

I have heard this talk about your passion so much...(maybe too much Oprah) and I always am thinking, I am way too BUSY to have a passion. So much we put all of ourselves into our kids and homes and families and forget about those stirrings inside that compel us to be excited about life and the world. I am with Carrie on this...I have INTERESTS but no real passion. For ME it makes me feel a bit empty, well at this time am dealing with lots of health issues and have been put on PAUSE for a long time...but your post made me think about what dreams I have in my HEART and SOUL that I want to accomplish STILL, even as I am nearing 50. I still have them but they get pushed aside. THANKS for reminding me to pull them out and dust them off now and then!

It is so funny but looking back what I was good at never really struck me as being part of my dream. It wasn't until my last semester of college that I realized what I was really passionate about. I haven't yet found a way to really bring my passions to the surface but there is a part of me that is always right there trying to save the world.

The great thing about passions is that they can grow, change, and evolve as we do. I'm not the same string bean of a kid that I was 25 years ago and I'm not who I will be 25 years from now.

So it's important to dream because they help give us something to look forward to even if it's only to dream again tomorrow.

I love this. I am a sentimental fool myself. I was a dreamer as a tot and I'm still a dreamer today. Some of those passions that I had hoped to fulfill as a kid actually have been found even if in a roundabout way. But for me, my life is always a work in progress and the path has twisted and turned in so many ways and I know it will continue that way until the very end. That's what makes it interesting for me... all the surprises that are yet to come. I'm a creative and an entrepreneur to my core, never happy with the expected, always looking for the next new thing.

Great post. All I wanted to be was a stay at home Mom, just like my Memaw.

I am so happy that I am, but I have to say my Memaw was a saint to watch her 5 grandchildren every day and not even be able to drive a car! She never learned how. How did she not lose her marbles by not escaping in the evenings?

I always wanted to be a nurse when I was a kid, but my parents didn't encourage it and I never had the money for college. Then I got married the first time to a man... well, let's not go there!! I had the 2 most wonderful children from that union and I wouldn't trade them for anything!
Then I married the MOST wonderful man in the world who encouraged me to go after my dream at the age of 35, and I did! Although I was unable to finish my education due to other unforseen occurances (REALLY long story), at least I know that I tried, and I would have been able to do it! It is one of the reasons I love Bill so deeply!
Your mom was right Felicia, you never know!! Thanks for such a fabulous post!

As I was reading this, I was thinking back and all I remember really wanting was to be a mom. It's been completely fulfilling, but now is when I don't know what to do with myself. I have no idea. None.

great post and reminder, Felicia!

It seems really trivial, even silly, but I think my passion is saving money. (or is it an obsession?) :)

My problem is that I have so many passions...writing, photography, community service and, now, being a mother. Blogging lets me indulge in all them!

I feel so pathetic admitting that I don't have a clue anymore. I have achieved all the life goals that I wanted to achieve, but am still so clueless as to what my life passion is...

this is such a great post - I believe its never too late to go after your dreams and passion - your brass ring! I can't always respond to the post I read but this one really moved me!
