Passion: A Driving Force for Life

Think of your own passion as a bottle of coke. It sits calmly until provoked. Once shaken, it builds and builds, until it bursts.

What makes your passion explode? What life events or situations make your passion scream out of you at full force?

What’s my passion?

After contemplating the topic and a conversation with @tmcantwell it’s clear to me that I’m a passionate about competition. At first I thought about how I could be passionate about something that isn’t necessarily tangible. It’s not like music, writing, painting or things that can be made physical.

My passion is competition. I don’t care about what the person next to me is doing but what I CAN do at my best. Kanye West sort of embodies it best in these quotes from his book.

“Know your worth”

“Would you rather have 100% from an average person or 10% from someone who is outstanding”

-Kanye West,

Thank You and You’re Welcome

Knowing your own worth is important. As a person without limitations, I know that I can achieve anything I want. I am passionate about being competitive with myself. I want to force the best out of me.

For me, passion isn’t about loving what you do, but rather, a driving force.

Competition is my driving force to be successful. Competition with myself will create the best Patrick and professional I can be. I know what I can do. I have the world at my fingertips and I will utilize it to the fullest.

What are you passionate about? What drives you to be the best? Is your drive your passion?
