Passion: I was raised in a generation that was spoon-fed it three square meals a day. My parents’ generation, who were raised by the survivors of World War II, had a more tempered outlook. Then came my generation. We were systematically told we could be anything we wanted. The phrases, “live passionately” and “follow your passion” summoned us out of bed with ardor and launch full force into our dreams. My generation flocks by the millions to Burning Man and Tony Robins’ conferences hoping to get another hit of zeal to keep going.
