What is passion? Is passion important to personal success in general? Either way - is passion important to you?

Good thread…

Passion is the most important element to success… unless you have for passion for anything… the very best you can hope for is mitigated success…

No one ever became great without great passion… just imagine a world class athlete… would you think he would have any chances of attaining anything worthwhile if he or she did not have an all consuming passion for his or her sport…??? Same thing for business… art… or any other sphere of human endeavor…

Without passion… you are just another wishful dreamer… hoping that the good fairy will come and bring you whatever success you are hoping for…

Totally agree with Shamou.

If you have not determined your life goals/purpose yet, then everything you do is inaction.

but even that is pointless if you don't know what to hope for!!! (i.e. life purpose/goals)

Passion is pretty much the fire inside you, the burning desire, the love for what you're doing. That's what i would consider passion.

Inspiration is what get you started.

Motivation is what keeps you going.

Passion is what makes you persevere.

When we are passionate in the stuffs we are doing, we tend to keep going and do not quit when the times are tough!

That should sum it up why passion is very important for our success in life.
