Passions plural of pas·sion (Noun)

1.     Strong and barely controllable emotion

2.     A state or outburst of such emotion

What is passion? A combination of a desired thought coupled with a strong positive emotion that stimulates the reward/pleasure circuits in the brain.  Take a moment, right now, and think about a goal you desire to achieve. Imagine what it  looks like and feels like once you have attained the goal. Now focus on the feelings that are generated by that thought.

On a scale of 1 to 10, rate the strength of that feeling. The higher the number, the more likely you are to achieve it. You can use this exercise to compare two goals to see which one is more important in your life.

Here are some ideas to help you define your passion: A passion is how you choose to live your life.
