Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

That which consumes you is your passion; make it positive for others also.

A good indication that you are pursuing an appropriate adventurebolt is that your enjoyment and passion of the pursuit consumes you, and you have a positive influence on others.  In this state, you will be intently focused and involved in the activity to the point of time passing without notice, or the hands of the clock (for the analogs among us) will seemingly spin at exceptional speed.  

Some call this "flow," some call it being "in the zone."  Synaptics in the brain are firing in every quadrant, and tasks become effortless and practically automatic.  This is how adventurebolts are played out and defined.

A similar process occurs during addictive behaviors; however, a good distinction is to point out that addictions are typically selfish and destructive desires, while passion occurs in the pursuit of something constructive that can benefit others.  Artists in the heat of creation are synonymous with passion.  Perhaps it's a sports performance that benefits the rest of the team.  Maybe it's an organization task in the home.  These are positive contributions that can benefit others.

Follow those things that you are passionate about that can also benefit others, and you will be living a life with greater fulfillment and sense of purpose.
