How do people know that you love something? Do you get excited about it and jump up and down for joy, or are you the more reserved type that makes people wait and see?
I'm hoping that you show some sort of enthusiasm when you're talking about (or doing) something you love.
I have a professor that absolutely loves teaching. By day he is a county prosecutor and by night he is a professor. This man has made me love criminal procedure so much more than any other professor has ever made me love what I'm studying. When he talks, he is very animated and makes up the silliest examples, but you know he loves making us laugh while we learn and that he loves teaching. We all know how to reach him in the event that we need some outside legal advice and he somehow sneaks learning into our fun.
One of my dear friends is going to school for nursing. I love watching her talk about it because her face lights up and when I have a super bad cut or an infection, she loves inspecting it and making me suck up the cleaning process of said cut.
Someday I hope to be that excited about my profession. I want people to know that I am doing what I'm doing because I love it and I'm passionate about it.
In the same way, I want people to know how passionate about my faith I am. I want to be able to reach out to people and love them in a way that exemplifies Christ's love for us.
If I am not showing my enthusiasm or love for what I do and believe in, what does that say about my life? If I don't show off my pictures that I'm proud of taking, how will people know that I love photography? If I spend years writing a book, but I never send it out to get published, how will people know that's what I do, how will they know that writing is my passion?
We have to show that we love what we do or people will never truly know us. We may not make the same friends that we may have if we'd shared what we were passionate about.
So what are you passionate about? What do you absolutely love to do/see? Do you have a hard time showing that enthusiasm? Or are you someone that people can't get to shut up about it? (not that there is anything wrong with that of course).
