Defining Passion - It's not what I thought.

 There is that part of me that just wants to jump right in and explore what might be my passions, what makes my heart feel alive and right, just go for it. Then there is that part of me that says Woh, slow down, you better figure out what passion is before you jump right in there lady.  Yes, this is how my mind works, and in Art School it drove both me and my proffesors CRAY CRAY...

From Urban Dictionary

Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind body and soul into something as is possible.
