Hi Billy. This is a great question. When I was growing up I thought my passion to be one thing....then it seemed the older I got...the more I questioned what I was passionate about. There are so many influences out there and I very much agree with Lauren on this. My daugh...

Hi Billy! I often feel the way you do, and I have found that once I was conscious of the kind of influences that surrounds me, I became more conscious of what to become influenced by and in doing so I become more like my SELF.... i believe in evolution of the soul and the...

I am not sure we can ever really define ourselves outside of our external influences. For example: my children shape my perception of myself as a mother; my husband has shaped my perception of myself as a wife; my country has shaped my perception of myself as a citi...

thanks for your insight. I definitely need to be around others that share my same ideas, feelings, thoughts, and dreams. Lately I have been around a crowd that is satisfying the wrong desires. And since I am not confident being myself, I go along just to blend. ...

I think you may have answered your own question. But, is it you have no passion because you let others run your life or others run your life because you have not passion.This is your life and it is yours to do with how you wish. You can either choose to live i...

thanks for your insight and opinion. To answer your question, I realize that I tend to allow others to influence my actions more than I woud like. And I allow it to blend in the crowd sometimes so I won't feel like an outsider. I have always had this fear of expressin...
