Passion inspires commitment and drives you towards your go. Passion equals motivation. I’m not sure if I agree with you when you say passion stems from commitment.

I knew I wanted to become a writer and when I was first starting, I took a gig writing about the media, journalism and how technology is just changing everything. Doing all that research on the topic resulted in a passion for keeping up with the changes in media and all the new inventions and innovations out there. A tip for those who are passionate about the same things as I am - check out the Knight News Challenge (http://newschallenge.org) - you can win a grant to fund your ideas related to technology and journalism.

Its a paradox that boggles the minds of most Westerners. People who are married without falling in love should have higher divorce rates than people who have fallen in love and then marry - right?

Why the discrepancy? Because people who marry (commit) - fall in love eventually. But people who start with love - can’t always find long term commitment.

Passion and commitment maybe two sides of the same coin. But commitment creates stronger and lasting bonds. If you have to select between the 2 - always select commitment.

A year and a half ago I started blogging with the intention of trying to somehow earn a living. Since then I've become obsessed with improving the way I design and write, all along figuring out exactly what I like to do. I still don't have a clear idea, but I've starting building websites just for the love of it instead of just to earn a living. Yep, the passion continues to grow in leaps and bounds!

Sometimes we just have to get a project going and it will gather steam (momentum) as we go. Who knows we might like it! If we wait to have a passion - we may never get started!

Everyone talk about being "commited" and "passionate" to be an entrepreneur ? Why not "workaholic" which is as powerful as passionate, or "fond of" which is as "weak" as commited ? When you become an adult, you often have quite a history of liking things and disliking others. That helps a lot choosing a field of expertise. You have very little chances of enjoying a soccer match if you dislike sports to begin with :) Passion/fondness and commitment are two sides of the same coin, you can't really become passionate or commited about something if you don't like it to begin with, and if you don't force yourself to commit to it in the beginning. Let's remember that most of us go the entrepreneur's way to get rid of a job we don't really like, it's not to force ourselves in something else we dislike :) Passion is a powerful word.
