passion in kids

I was just watching Ted T.V. for those who are not familiar with Ted, it is a website full of brief interviews on any subject from science, arts and relationships. As I was scrolling down the list of talks from men and woman from all over the world I could see a common theme, regardless of the subject all of these people have a vision driven by their passion. Passion is one of the road block to many people to making changes in life. One of the biggest excuses to staying stuck in unhappy. It usually sounds like " If I could only find my passion then I could get on with my life". Why does your passion have to be something that is earth shattering? It makes any baby step forward look so daunting. I had coffee with a friend recently and over the course of the hour we didn't have that 40 something conversation about our higher purpose and the meaning of life. I was thinking about it after and wondered what she was doing that made her life so fulfilled. I had to know so I sent out the message and asked. She responded quite simply, her kids. Thats simple enough, what a world this would be if every mother put more passion into their kids.
