Critical Things Passionate People Do Differently<\/h2>\n

Do you have enough passion in your life? Passion is the difference between playing the piano and being a pianist; it\u2019s who you are, not just what you do. Passion makes you leap out of bed in the morning, eager to start your day.<\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Vallerand at the University of Quebec has studied passion more than anyone, and he asserts that passion is self-defining. According to Vallerand, \u201cPassion is a strong inclination towards a self-defining activity that people love, that they consider important, and in which they devote significant amounts of time and energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPassion is the genesis of genius.\u201d \u2013 Galileo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s important to note that passion doesn\u2019t require expertise\u2014although there is a correlation, it\u2019s not a given. Vallerand and two other researchers studied 187 musicians and found that those who focused on perfecting their performance\u2014what Vallerand calls \u201cmastery\u201d\u2014developed a higher level of expertise than those who focused on merely being better than other musicians. If passion defines you, it makes sense that your personal best will be about you and no one else.<\/p>\n

So what does passion look and feel like? A great way to understand passion is to consider what makes passionate people different from everybody else.<\/p>\n

Passionate people are obsessed.\u00a0<\/strong>Put simply, passionate people are obsessed with their muse, and I don\u2019t mean that in an unhealthy OCD sort of way. I\u2019m talking about a positive, healthy obsession, the kind that inspired the quote, \u201cDo what you love, and you\u2019ll never work a day in your life.\u201d No matter what else is going on, their thoughts keep returning to their passion. Not because they feel burdened and pressured by it, but because they\u2019re just so dang excited about it. They\u2019re obsessed with their muse because it inspires them and makes them happy.<\/p>\n
