Passion is different from interest. Those who are just interested in things have the “wish”, but passionate people have the “will”.

About This Quote

The difference between passion and interest lies in the depth of your feelings. When you're interested, you might want to do something, but you don't feel strongly enough to act on them. You might not even do it yourself, but rather suggest it to someone else. For example, if I ask you, "Why don't you go kayaking?" and you say, "Oh, I'm not really interested in doing that," I'll probably believe you.

However, if you say something like "I've always wanted to go kayaking," then I know that you're passionate about kayaking. Even if it's not the right time for you to do something (and maybe it never will be), if you feel strongly enough about it, then by all means do it!
