Being passionate is important in life, but it also can be difficult to deal with. Just like with all good things, too much of it can be damaging. However, passionate people, overall, do live happier and better lives than the average individual.
Passions give us purpose, but more than that, they make us feel that we have purpose in our lives. Being passionate isn’t just about knowing – it’s also about feeling. That’s what makes passions so important; they make us feel that we’re on the right path in life and give us hope for a happy and exciting future.
Passionate people lead significantly different lives from their less-than-enthusiastic counterparts. Here are 10 things that passionate people do differently and the good and bad that comes of it.
It’s not that passionate people don’t enjoy sleeping – they do. It’s just that once they’re up, they get excited about the work ahead of them. Even if the particular project or tasks they will be working on may not excite them, their future aspirations and the passion they have for what they do drive them to get out of bed rather quickly. Passionate people are all about doing and you can’t do much if you spend half the day sleeping.
They’re basically obsessed – hopefully in a healthy manner. Healthy passions are healthy obsessions. You can’t keep your mind from returning to the topic and can’t help but get excited by those thoughts. Passionate people live in a world in which the few things that matter to them in life basically involve the passions they love.
Passionate individuals may not always feel excited – no one is excited all the time – but when they get excited, they get excited more fully, for a longer duration and, overall, more frequently.
It’s because they have more in their lives to get excited about. They devote their time to usually one or two things and therefore make more progress than those who split their time amongst many things. The momentum keeps them excited.
Just as the passionate get excited, they also can come off as very moody. They go from happy and excited to pissed off and miserable. Because they are passionate, they are much more emotionally connected to whatever it is they are doing – so when things go well, the world is a beautiful place, but when things go awry, sh*t gets real very quickly.
If you’re passionate, you have a clear understanding of what your purpose in life is – if only your purpose for that very moment. For this reason, you give much less importance to other things. Therefore you’re willing to risk more for the thing(s) that you find most important, that you are most passionate about. Those that are passionate are much more willing to give up things that don’t fall in their scope of passion.
Life is filled with things worth doing and things not worth doing. That which we are most passionate about is what we believe to be worthwhile, everything else seems to be wasteful and lacking. Passionate individuals gradually gravitate towards their passions and away from the rest that life has to offer. They know what will make them happy and are willing to ignore the rest.
People say that it isn’t good to bring work home. However, for the most passionate, work is home. It’s not possible for these individuals not to bring their work home because their work is in them and reflects in everything they have and do. But it doesn’t feel like work to them. It feels like life.
They know that you probably don’t want to hear about it because you hear about it all the time, but they don’t really want to talk about much else. And even if they do, their conversations almost always steer back to their passions. They can’t help it because they don’t see their passions as separate from themselves; they are their passions.
Passionate people aren’t always the best at balancing their lives. They get overly excited and push themselves to their limits. They love working and love moving forward quickly. But they eventually do run out of steam and crash. Only the seasoned and wise passionate individuals have learned to balance havoc and calm in a healthy manner.
Their minds are always looking ahead, looking at what can be instead of what is. This has its good sides and bad, but nevertheless, they are always thinking about their next move.
The one great outcome is that they always have something to look forward to and are excited to make it happen. As long as they remember to hang around in the present from time to time, they don’t run into too much trouble.

Are you striving to unlock your life’s purpose?
Are you focused on discovering “your thing,” your special talent or niche in the world?
Are you avidly working to actualize your dream or vision for your life?
If any of these rang true for you, you may well be a passionate person.
Passionate people are compelled, perhaps even called , to do something meaningful with their lives. Restless and forward-looking, they are always anticipating the next step in their life’s journey.
At some point, passionate people discover that others aren’t wired the same way they are. They may find, for instance, that others seem to take life less seriously or are less concerned with self-actualization. Simply put, not everyone is (or aspires to be) a passionate person.
I’ve recently been reading Karen Putz’s book, Unwrapping Your Passion , and have appreciated her observations regarding the five personality traits that characterize passionate people. In this post, we will explore each of these five traits, including how they overlap and interface with the Myers-Briggs personality types.
When thinking about passionate people, one of the first things we think about is the abundance of energy they bring to their life and work.
As discussed in my book, The INTP Quest , energy is part and parcel of the purposeful life. This includes tapping into and harnessing positive energy, as well as minimizing the effects of negative energy. Without effective energy management and cultivation, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of passion for life.
While we typically think of extraverts as having more overall energy and exuberance, in reality, passion has little to do with being an introvert (I) or extravert (E). Sure, extraverts may be quicker to display their zeal and enthusiasm, but introverts can be (and often are) just as passionate.
Energy is clearly an important variable in the passion equation, but according to Putz, it needs to take the form of focused energy . It’s one thing to have a lot of free-floating energy, quite another to harness that energy and consistently funnel it into a passion.
This is where drive and self-discipline enter the picture. Being driven involves moving in a specific direction or toward a specific aim. While passionate people may possess wide interests, they don’t relish the idea of being lifelong wanderers. Instead, they want to find something they love and can fully invest themselves in.
Personality wise, judging (J) types are often painted as the most driven of the types. But as discussed in our recent post on birth order and personality typing , there are plenty of perceivers (P) who are just as ambitious and successful. This is explainable in terms of the numerous factors beyond personality type that can impact our drive and motivation.
Another key characteristic of passionate people is authenticity. Webster defines the term authentic as follows: “Not false or an imitation. Real. Actual. True to one’s own personality, spirit, or character.”
In many cases, it is their authenticity that passionate people cherish most about themselves. Rather than following the crowd or taking the conventional route, they strive to know themselves first, then draw on their self-knowledge as they go about paving their own path.
As touched on in my book, My True Type , introverts are often said to exhibit greater concern for knowing themselves and for living in accordance with their self-understanding. While this is true to a certain extent, intuition (N) plays an equal if not greater role in authenticity. It is largely intuition that prompts us to ask the “why” questions associated with passionate living:
These are the sorts of questions that passionate people wrestle with, questions about meaning, value, and human flourishing. Such concerns drive them to learn more about themselves and the world around them, helping them forge their optimal life path .
One thing Putz highlights in her book is that passion involves a willingness to suffer or endure hardship for the sake of what we care about. In the psychological community, this is often described in terms of “grit.” Grit is defined as:
An individual’s perseverance of effort, combined with passion for a particular long-term goal or end state. This promotes the overcoming of obstacles or challenges that lie on the path to accomplishment.
Others have simply defined it as “effortful persistence.” Research indicates that grit, in conjunction with IQ and Conscientiousness (Big Five), is one of the most important predictors of lifetime achievement.
Gritty individuals are able to effectively cope with life stressors. They enlist both inner and outer resources that help them stay positive and committed to their passion.
With respect to the Myers-Briggs, Judging (J) types may have an edge in the grit category, but I suspect it is relatively small. Grit really has more to do with motivation and willpower, traits that the Myers-Briggs inventory wasn’t designed to measure.
At first glance, it may seem strange to characterize passionate people as both driven and open-minded. If drive requires focus and open-mindedness involves receptivity, aren’t these traits at odds with other? I suppose a similar question could be applied to perceiving (P) types. Namely, how is it possible to “keep one’s options open” without losing sight of one’s purpose and direction?
For many people, this quandary is resolved with time, experimentation, and recollection. Once we factor time into the equation, it’s easier to see how open-minded individuals, given enough experience and exploration, might zero-in on a focused passion.
Moreover, we shouldn’t assume that passionate people are limited to only one primary passion in their lifetime. Indeed, many will pursue something for a period of time, but eventually switch gears and shift their focus.
What’s great about open-mindedness is it allows passionate people to steer clear of ruts, or to engineer an escape route if they happen to get stuck. Their creativity also helps them find ways of kindling the energy required to stay passionate and motivated.

We are all naturally passionate at some point in our lives. We all start out that way at least. Most children contain the energy and love of life that sums up the spirited. Unfortunately, as life takes its toll, some of us lose our passion. Here are 10 habits to help infuse your life with intensity again.
“ Passion is the genesis of genius.” – Tony Robbins
While passionate people often enjoy talking a mile a minute about what excites them, they back up their claims with action. Bring on the blood, sweat, and tears! The devoted will do whatever it takes to accomplish their dreams.
“ Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey
Passion is contagious! It’s hard to be around a fiery person and not get swept away in their excitement, even if it’s about something that you never thought could interest you. Passionate people live every day with the anticipation of great things.
“ Chase your passion, not your pension.” – Denis Waitley
Passionate people are willing to do anything to get the job done. They face their fears head-on because they are committed to eliminate anything that holds them back from what they most desire.
“ Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” – Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Passionate people often don’t hang out with negative people. They come to value positivity in themselves and others, and don’t have time to entertain failure long. They have the ability to bounce back from setbacks quickly without losing enthusiasm. After all, they didn’t really fail, they just learned one more way to avoid attempting their mission. They still have thousands of attempts still untested.
“ Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
People with passion always want to offer their best to the world. They can be slightly perfectionist in their thinking, but it’s only because they see their output as a direct reflection of them. If they place their personal stamp upon it, it will be infiltrated with their essence.
“ Man is only great when he acts from passion.” – Benjamin Disraeli
Need help getting started with a new project? Find a passionate person to get you off the couch! Passionate people are great coaches and motivators. They often care deeply for others and do everything they can to help them succeed.
“ Live with passion!” – Tony Robbins
Most passionate people who follow their life longings are happy and fulfilled individuals. They focus on their blessings and give back to others. They are glass-half-full people who choose to enjoy making lemonade with the lemons life throws at them.
“ If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” – Benjamin Franklin
One of the best bits of advice I’ve ever received was that passion was a powerful driving force that must be channeled. If left unchecked, it could cause an explosion causing great destruction. However, if properly utilized, the same fire that once ruined could also be captured to power a steam engine for positive change. Passionate people learn to have others hold them accountable to channel their energy in the best possible way.
“ Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect, and passion in their operation.” – John Ruskin
Passionate people know they have a job to do, and they do it with gusto. They run in the rain. They smile through the most menial tasks. No matter what distractions life throws their way, they remain laser-focused on their final objective. They don’t take easy detours, but plow in at full speed. The driving force within them won’t let them lose sight of the end goal.
“ Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” Anthony J. D’Angelo
Passionate people never stagnate in the pool of despair, feeling they are finished. They always look for ways to improve upon themselves and their surroundings. Passionate people keep their childlike wonder about life. They are always learning, always growing, always experiencing new things. They squeeze every last drop out of life that they possibly can!

I recently had a Skype conversation with someone so passionate, I could feel it oozing out of the computer and running all over my desk. His excitement and passion were infectious.
I was interviewed by this young blogger who has found his passion for writing, coaching, and teaching about passion and purpose. Before the interview he said, “I’m so excited about what I’m doing, I can’t sleep at night.”
His face is lit up from within with his energy for his work.
How amazing to figure out your passion when you’re still in your 20’s, before life steals away too much of your time, energy, and enthusiasm.
Have you ever encountered someone who exudes this aura of enthusiasm and purpose?
Their entire demeanor reveals they have something really cool going on in their life. They are up to something special. And they are joyful, energized, and simply fun to be around.
I’m describing people who have found their passion and figured out how to make it part of their daily lives, through their work or otherwise. They have found that “thing” that lights them from the inside out like my blogger friend and puts them in the flow of intense focus and engagement. They have rearranged their life priorities so that passion has a starring role.
Life passion is often expressed through one’s work — but it doesn’t have to be. Many people experience their passion by . . .
volunteering
enjoying a hobby
in a relationship
with a side-interest or business
Sometimes these endeavors have a way of turning into a career. It’s amazing how passion creates opportunities and opens doors.
In fact, passion infuses all of your life with its joyful benefits — not just the one endeavor. It’s very similar to being in love. When you’re with the person you love, everything else disappears and time stands still. Even when you’re apart, the rest of your world is bright and sparkly. Everything seems better and easier.
This happens with a passion in life as well. A similar intensity, joy, and aliveness is experienced through one’s passion. When one part of your life is so amazing, you won’t settle for less in the other parts.
So how do these passionate people become so passionate?
What have they done to discover so much purpose and satisfaction in their lives?
In my work as a coach, I’ve observed first-hand the traits and choices of people who are living their passion. These are regular people with no extraordinary abilities beyond what most people possess — ut they do have some interesting things in common.
Passionate people understand that passion is connected to our deeper, intrinsic yearnings. We want to be loved, feel purposeful, express ourselves, and many other universal desires. We all have core values we hold dear, those guiding principles that help us make important decisions. When we are in touch with these yearnings and values, we have a framework for defining and living our passion.
Passionate people recognize that seizing your passion can be risky. Very few things in life come with a guarantee. But if you have done your research and testing with your possible passion, at some point you must take a leap of faith. Nothing extraordinary in life ever happens without taking that leap.
Taking risk is uncomfortable and unnerving. No matter how much due diligence you’ve performed, discomfort and uncertainty are part of taking risk. Passionate people must make some uncomfortable decisions, such as making choices others don’t like, saying goodbye to parts of their old life, and challenging themselves to do something new. But passionate people understand that this part of the process, and they take action even if the face of discomfort.
Passionate people understand commitment to their dream. To live your pass
