Each life is different, and each life deserves the attention it needs. You have passion for what you like to do. I have passion for what I like to do. That is cliché, but it is the truth. What happens when

Passion means - according to the Cambridge Dictionary: 'an extreme interest in or wish for doing something, such as a hobby, activity, very powerful feelings, something that you are strongly interested in and enjoy.'

This quote from Sabrina Bryan stayed with me: “You can do anything as long as you have the passion, the drive, the focus, and the support.”

It says about what passion does with a human soul when someone loves to do something with its entire heart and soul.

In other words: when you do what you love to do, and you do it with passion, you are interested in such an activity with a frequency in your life, that you might be obsessed with. You do that activity with such a love and a lot in your life, because you love to do it very much. As singer-songwriter Jon Bon Jovi put it right: “Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.”

My passion is playing the violin. I play the violin since the age of seven. Therefore, I have played the cello, sang in a choir and I played the violin in different kinds of orchestra's. I still practise almost three until five hours per day to be a very good trained musician, whether I become a professional (which is my wish), or stay a good amateur.

Playing the violin is and will always be my passion. It brings me joy in my life, which I want to bring to others and let them enjoy the music I play for them, listen with them, or talk about it with them. Robert Ballard said it very well and totally agree with him: “Follow your own passion—not your parents’, not your teachers’—yours.”, but sharing my passion with others makes me happy too.

Writing is another passion of mine. I write every day, as much as possible. About any topic that I love to write about, I know things about, and I want to warn people about topics I have been through, and telling my experiences, so others learn about what I have been through - to not get into things that far as I did, and I want to give my tips and tricks.

When I write, play the violin, or doing other things with passion, I feel fulfilled, and I feel happy. There is a certain amount of joy that I feel when I have done things I am passionate about.

“I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.” —Andrea Bocelli

Passion is what people feel when you love to do something that is very close to your heart. Others can see it in your face, in your body attitude, or whatever express your passion. Some behaviour you can see, others need to be felt.

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” —Oprah Winfrey

Whatever you do, do it with passion. That is my motto for life. Life is one big party, only you have to organise the party.

“If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.” —Wanda Sykes
