Act on Your Passion

"Lex learned to act on his passion, never hold anything back. I wonder if we’ll ever be able to do the same." - Lana Lang

I tend to quote Smallville a lot. I am a fan of the show, well big fan... But, I watch and listen to some of the lines and see many of them as being very profound. Many times they cause me to think deeply about myself and the world I live in.

Acting on Passion is something that takes guts. It often takes a courage we don't know we posess and instills a fear that can stop us in our tracks. It's like the first time you perform in front of people. There is a level of nervousness and fear that creates the "butterflies in the stomach" effect. But, acting on passion is a gift waiting to be unwrapped.

Some of the greatest people I have ever known (some gone from this world) have learned to act on their passion. Weather it's loving others, or creating a great work of art that touches the deepest feelings. Many of us have many passions in our lives. A passion for our spouce and children. Passion to create, perform, and be the best at what we do. While many passions are good, others like the love of money can replace the passion of the above mentioned. Some of the most unhappy people I have known are the ones that are passionate about money and do everything in their power to get as much of it as possilbe. Sure they can buy all the cool toys, treat people to expensive meals, and spend 100 plus $ on a pair of jeans. But, they aren't truely happy because they don't posess anything of real relevance.

So, like Lana said, I wonder if we will be able to act on our passions?!
