True passion cannot be forced. It is purely genuine. I have found so much happiness in seeing and experiencing passion in others. It's easy to enjoy someone's passion when it is beneficial to you. It's harder to notice and appreciate passion when it is irrelevant to your life. I think the most noticable passions are those that conflict with yours. It's like we seek opposition. I think everyone's passions can be used for greatness. And even if they aren't, thank God you even have something to be passionate about. The most depressing thing I have seen in humans is a lack of passion or forced ones. Without it, who are you? Where are you going? What does anything matter if nothing matters? One of my favorite writers, Rob Bell, speaks of the purpose of the church when he asks, if the local government was to shut down, would anyone care other than its members? Essentially, is your church making any difference in the community? Would atheists care? Widows? Orphans? Poor? Anyone? For example, do you think the world would be worse off without these folks.Would anything in your life genuinely suffer without you? If you didn't show up to work tomorrow, would there be a difference? Do you just show up and get the job done? If you do I hope to God that you have the courage to change that. Cut your losses and realize the gains. Discover something new.
