Definition Essay On Passion

Improved Essays
Passion, it has many different meanings, the most common one being where we are physically showing affection and love toward someone or something very strongly. Passion is a very strong feeling about a person or thing.

As i mentioned earlier, you can’t just wake up feeling passionate about someone or something, and some people think that you can. Passion is like a relationship , and takes time to build up. You have to, in a sense, gain enough trust in that person or object to want to give all of your time, money, and effort into it. Often, the things that people are truly very passionate about, is what you find yourself doing during your free time. If you are not forced into doing it, then clearly you enjoy it and have very strong emotions towards it, which is the dictionary definition of passion. Yet, some people will not let their minds be changed, to make the transition between feeling strongly about something, and really developing true passion for something. A major reason for this is that people already think that they have passion about something, when they truly do not. When you are with someone or something long enough, and you are able to develop passion for that person or object, you can feel it. There is almost a little light bulb, or a moment when it clicks, and you can feel yourself become passionate about it. Aside from that feeling, there is also the obvious way to check if you are actually passionate about an item, and that is if you can not live without

    “to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived” This excerpt from “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau speaks of a life unlived when it's nearing too late. Thoreau writes about living every day as if it were your last, taking in every chance to enrich and define yourself. How pursuing even the most simple of passions could prove to be worthwhile. I agree in the possibility that it is never too late to do what you’ve dreamt of and bring new perspective when looking into the horizon. When you genuinely love doing something it becomes your passion, but if fear or fear of regret impact your decisions it can be easily regretted.…
