That doesn't really surprise me. I don't think there's a large percentage of people out there in careers that they are wildly passionate about. Nor do I think there are a ton of people who have their own passionate hobbies, or even the desire to find them. Who knows, I could be wrong.... I know I feel like I'm part of the true majority, the majority that has not yet found their PASSIONATE hobby or whatever. <br><br>i feel passionate about a lot of stuff though.. and it's obvious you do too. I guess my passion is just currently spread out over a lot of things and not concentrated on anything in particular. I havent harnessed all the passion and directed it into one thing! <br>There are causes we support, project we work on, interests we study and read. We can be passionate people with concentrating all that passion on one particular thing that we then label "My Passionate Hobby". Maybe thats even better!... Let's spread the passion out, jill. No need to go spending it all in one place - at least no rush<br><br>oh, and also, i think someone could probably turn something into a "passion" by changing the way they approach it or think about it... not just a career, but anything. You (not necessarily you, but in general) could turn a chore like cooking dinner every night into a culinary adventure.. a new passion. Keeping the yard maintained? .... get into gardening.. go crazy... change it from a weekly chore to a passion. You know? <br><br>check out this link, it reminded me of it..

I think what makes me wonder about it, is maybe the way I was raised and the way you and Katie were raised as well. In the Mormon church, and I imagine other religions as well, we are always being told to set goals, make a difference in this world, you are the chosen generation (yes they told that to my generation too). So naturally we are always trying to figure out why we were sent here at this particular time and this particular place. Even now when I'm not a believer of any particular religion or philosophy I still try to figure it out. I think I've learned to live in the present and be happy and content, I feel so lucky to have the life I have. But, now and again I begin wondering..."Just Jill"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17617582702842642998noreply@blogger.com
