Living a luxurious life can be a nice thing. Material goods can bear a heavier significance in some individuals' lives than others. As much as I hate to admit the importance of money, it does tend to be a pretty necessary element of life. While all of the accessories of life are nice and people can be extremely drawn to these inanimate objects; interactions, relationships, actions and experiences are the aspects of life that result in a much more powerful emotion: passion.
Love Your Family, Friends, and Significant Others
In a society that has the tendency to reduce its social interactions to typed conversations on a phone screen, people are very susceptible to losing sight of the importance of relationships. There are a number of different interactions with other people that can bring about passion. Family is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Taking time to appreciate your time with your family while you have the chance is incredibly important. As much as parents and children can butt heads, that is one of life's most important relationships. If you are fortunate enough to have your parents around, take advantage of that luxury that some people don't have and spent time with them.
You don't get to choose you siblings, but if there is anything at all that you have in common with a brother or sister, use it to make a stronger bond. My younger brother and I couldn't be more polar opposites in terms of personality and interests, but I absolutely love the crap out of him. I know that he has a strong appreciation for good food, so I like taking him out to eat to get all caught up with him (even if he's ordering steak and I'm ordering tofu). Get friends that accept every one of your flaws and perks. And finally, fall in love with someone that you continue to fall in love with every time that you see their smile.
Find a Career You Can't Stop Talking About
Wake up every day and go to a job that you get absolutely lost in. If you don't love what you do, you simply aren't going to see the successes and get the satisfaction that you would out of an enjoyable career. Dreams are completely worth chasing, even if they seem slightly intangible at first. Passion can take career aspirations further than people acknowledge. There are exceedingly wealthy singers, chefs, artists, salespeople and inventors that allowed their passion to drive them to success.
Enjoy the Little Things
Outside of your career find the little hobbies and activities that bring you the utmost joy. Don't let the daily grind of life completely shadow the things that you love to do. If you enjoy baking, yoga, doing math problems, whatever- just do it! Passion is one of my favorite words ever because it is so crucial to chase it in order to life a fulfilled life, and I think a lot of people disregard the heavy significance of passion.
