Many coaches believe that passion for what you do, passion that gives meaning to your life – is a necessary attribute of happiness. However, to feel deeply about something and to be passionate about it, are not necessarily one and the same. When we experience our lives as having significance and meaning, we often experience a sense of inner peace — as opposed to the energized feeling of being passionate about something. That inner peace comes from knowing deeply within that we are doing what we are supposed to do in life — that we are living out our “life’s purpose.” It could be as ambitious as running a huge business or being totally satisfied being a mom and growing a family. We all determine and define our own happiness. “Passion” is at the top of the emotional scale. We don’t feel “passion” all the time, even as we do a job or a task we totally adore. We just feel good. We experience inner peace — a sense of wholeness, and truly being in the moment… What are your thoughts?
