Harmonious Passion

I’ve said more about the peace side of Passion and Peace than the passion side. You may even still think of them as opposites. So I’ll say again: Peacefulness does not mean inaction, and Passion does not mean endless action. They balance one another.

There’s a difference between Harmonious Passion—work we love and enjoy doing but does not consume all our energy—and Obsessive Passion—which does consume all of you.

So love what you do but love yourself more. Don’t lose yourself in any pursuit. And if you find yourself anxious over putting down a project or endeavor for a break, you have probably crossed the line from harmonious passion to obsessive passion.
