For instance I think about writing all the time, it won't get out of my brain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856193 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:14:22 +0000 mrsjazz 1856193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Writing, especially writing about social justice and women's/girl's issues. Mentoring &amp; volunteering. Although I've been taking a break for the past year, I've mentored teenage girls for 5 years previously. I'm not sure I'll be able to give my time as a mentor again, but I want to volunteer for the organization.</p> <p>@stiletto_mom: Don't force a passion! But perhaps some of those things you feel strongly about may be a passion? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856188 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:12:26 +0000 youboots 1856188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Photography, it has been as long as I can remember.</p> <p>M is passionate about health/wellness/sports he recently has taken up road biking this summer and does 35+ miles at a time, so biking, golf and snowboarding for him.</p> <p>Together travel/learning new things/experiencing new things together. But those are more interests.</p> <p>Passion is such an intense word, I think interests would be more appropriate question for a job interview?</p> <p>For me passion is defined as something that is all consuming that you think about multiple times a day, ie nice way to say distraction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856181 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:07:19 +0000 stiletto_mom 1856181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel strongly about things.. not sure that I would call it a passion. And then have to think about if it's wise to share my "passionate opinions" to a prospective employer KWIM?</p> <p>I ended up just saying that I don't have a particular passion, but I enjoy learning new things and looking for new experiences... </p> <p>Just really caught me off guard because I feel like I should have a passion but I don't? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856137 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:50:38 +0000 lizzywiz 1856137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: my problem is I feel strongly about those things, but apparently not strongly enough to DO something about it :meh:<br /> (well, besides vote) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856133 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:49:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 1856133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The safest answer (i.e., the one I would say to a prospective employer) is that I'm passionate about volunteering and giving back.

I'm not sure what I am passionate about, except protecting my kids. I have hobbies, but they aren't my all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856049 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:01:29 +0000 lizzywiz 1856049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, no passion here, either.<br /> I am passionate about always improving myself/ taking responsibility for where I am heading in life, but I don't think that counts.<br /> I would love a passion that was something I could do or learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856035 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:55:43 +0000 .twist. 1856035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no passion for any one thing in particular. </p> <p>This question makes me sad because I see a lot of people who are passionate about SOMETHING and I am just.... not? </p> <p>I have passion, but not to the extent of putting my all and everything into it. </p> <p>I want to find that something though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856030 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:54:25 +0000 Synchronicity 1856030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, that's a big question! I kind of like it, though. If I was asked that in an interview in my field, I would probably have said something about holistic wellness, and then rambled on for a while about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-passion#post-1856020 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:50:50 +0000 stiletto_mom 1856020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't an interview but they were trying to get to know me and asked "What's your passion?" ... and I really didn't know how to respond...</p> <p>Does anyone else here "lack passion" or a "passionate hobby"? </p> <p>Like, I couldn't have said "shoes" or "motorcycles" first of all. And second, I think those are more interests than passions. </p>
