In what ways is a good use for passion, or when is an appropiate time to use passion?

I've noticed that I've always been gifted with passion, but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. Any thoughts?

You can have passion in everything you do throughout the day, but if you have anything you're really passionate about, you should pursue that as a place to be passionate.

What is your definition of passion?

Use it to motivate you to get things accomplished.

What's your passion? Playing guitar? Gardening? Business Deals? it could be a lot.

Whatever it is, when you do it with your passion, it does not seem like a work to you.

Just use it to help you earn your living or teach others. Haha. You'll receive thousand folds in return.

I don't see passion as a means to an end. Passion equals feeling very, very good, like joy or freedom, and it's a perfect way of being without having to do anything about it. And, funnily enough, it's also a perfect wellspring out of which the most inspired action can emerge.

oh dear that's twice in one day I've used that word wellspring. I'm going to use it 8 more times then stop.
