112 Passion Quotes To Ignite The Fire As You Do What You Love

Passion

When you are passionate about something, it shows. It's in the way your eyes light up, how you speak with enthusiasm, and how your whole demeanor exudes life.

Passion is strong, intense, and to some extent uncontrollable. You can be passionate about anything and anyone. You don't choose what you are passionate about. It attracts itself to you.

It may begin with something as small as trying out a new hobby, saying hello to the cute girl alone by the corner, or listening to a musician a friend recommended. You grow to like this person or thing as you take time for them.

The emotions of liking only get intense with time, and in the end, you become passionate about them. You can hardly sit without talking about them, doing that hobby, or listening to that musician.

They become part of your daily life and a day of their absence makes you feel incomplete. That's just how strong passion is. It's good and bad in equal measure, but you can always use it to your advantage.

For instance, if it's a new job you just got, you can use your passion to step up the ladder. Being passionate means that you will put more effort and time into your projects. The more you do this, the better you get at the job and the better the work you produce.

This never goes unnoticed by your superiors, and with time you will be given higher roles because they see it in you. They see how hard you work and how much you put into it to ensure everything goes well.

Instead of letting passion overwhelm and control you, always use it to your advantage. Whether it's a hobby, relationship, or new venture, let passion guide you to success. Here are 'passion quotes' to inspire, encourage, and motivate you!

Passion Quotes

There's nothing to stop a man from writing unless that man stops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longer he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of rising water against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laugh as you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will fire the eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.

"All right", one of the women said, "we know you think you're too good for this job". "Too good?" "Yes, your attitude. You think we didn't notice it?" That's when I first learned that it wasn't enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.

Anyway, when you get in trouble, just don't tell on anyone. I mean, I hate the rich snots here with a fervent passion I usually reserve for only dental work and my father. But that doesn't mean I would rat them out. Pretty much the only important thing is never never never never rat.

I believed I was where I was supposed to be of my career in the space program. When I was a student, my mentor told me I’d make a good research mathematician. I said, ‘What is that?’ and he told me I’d have to find out for myself. At NASA, I happened to be at the right place at the right time. When you put bright people in a room and they had something to do, they worked on it until they got it done. But honestly, it was never work to me.
