Passion Vs Feelings

You would have heard and used these two words often, sometimes even without really meaning it, and sometimes even interchangeably also. However there exists a difference between these two words and this post explores that. 

Though 'Passion' and 'Feeling' both represent an emotion, 'Passion' represents a stronger emotion, or a stronger desire than a 'Feeling'. 

Feelings in general can fade fast, but Passion may not!  If you are watching your favorite comedy show, then you will have feelings of laughter and joy, but those feelings are likely to fade away quickly as moments pass by.  Feelings are instantaneous in nature and do not change easily.  For instance even if you watch the comedy show, years later,  your feelings of laughter may not change to that of crying.  

Passions are stronger emotions that sucks you in! and makes you feel restless when thoughts or activities concerning those passionate entities crops up. One's passion may change over a long-time period. What you are passionate about today, you may not have the same passion on the same entity, years later. 

Feelings and Passion are both important. Feelings have the ability to shape your attitude! - the more positive feelings you develop and nurture, and keep away the negative feelings (like anger, greed etc...) you start developing a positive outlook and hence a better attitude. Similarly choosing the right positive passion is one of the most important steps to future success, and combined with the right attitude, and persistence, you are already there in the success path.
