I was thinking about passion. And what I think being passionate about something really means.
And I think it means you are insanely curious.
When you are so curious about a subject that you can read hundreds of books on it.
When you are so curious about a topic that you love talking to people about it because you want to hear what they know.
When you are so curious about something that you are always searching for YouTube videos and blog posts and podcasts.
When you are so curious that you want to play around with creating things in your genre without an end goal, just to see what happens.
When you are so curious that you want to take a class a subject just for fun.
When you are so curious about a topic that you learn about other people who are curious about your topic.
When you are so curious about a topic that you travel far and wide to experience it in a new way.
Like my friend who is so passionate about baking that she watches tons of baking shows, she always has her nose in a cookbook, she is always making friends with the owners of every bakery she enters, she volunteer for organizations that help aspiring bakers, everywhere we go we have to pop in and try a little baked good, she is always taking a road trip near and far to try a bakery she has heard about. I just love watching her curiosity!
And like my brother who is so passionate about a good sandwich that he opened a pop up restaurant that serves just that. Wherever he goes he has to try a sandwich (maybe 3), everyone he eats gets photographed, he too makes friends with everyone who has ever made him a good sandwich, he follows all sorts of food bloggers and watches great shows about food, and forget it when he gets in the cookbook section of a bookstore! I just love watching how curious he is too!
So.
What are you curious about?
