About Passion Day
Passion Day
Passion Day, the second weekend in November, is a day in which people the
world over celebrate their passion for life.
For many people, being passionate means doing something they always
wanted to do, but never dared. Some may choose the one thing they
love the most, but on Passion Day they immerse themselves in it deeper
than ever before. For some individuals, being passionate is to
wear something special. Others write a passionate letter.
People come together to celebrate being alive, express mutual
love, or just have fun. Some people may choose to celebrate this
day by doing something special for their community. The ways to
celebrate passion are infinite.
Passion Day Goals and Objectives
The immediate objective of Passion Day is to build a groundswell of
awareness about passion, and to encourage people to explore their own
inner passion. The ultimate goal is to create a passionate
global consciousness, where people feel they are free to express
and live up to their authentic highest values.
Researching Passion
Passion University identifies trends and quantify several specific characteristics
of passionate living. Please participate in the study by sending feedback
and ideas about passion, using a short survey.
Understanding Passion
Passion is a balanced flow of energies - spiritual, mental, emotional,
sensual, somatic, social, and environmental. When these channels
open and freely flow, we each move closer to fulfilling our unique purpose
in life. Fulfillment brings about the highest form of joy and
satisfaction, which in turn leads to a healthier body and mind.
Obstacles to Living Passionately
Many teachers and parents condition children to conform rather than
express themselves. The numbing dictums put upon the young mind
are carried into adulthood; consequently, people gradually lose touch
with their natural, inner passion. The channels for experiencing
joyful living eventually dry up. Typical symptoms of repressed passion
include frustration, apathy, depression, and physical sickness.
While some people are just numb, most are passionate in
some areas but neglect the others. The challenge is to maintain
a healthy and invigorating balance in all areas of life.
Passion Day is sponsored by Passion University, San Francisco, California. Passion University is dedicated to education and research that promote passionate living.
