About This Quote

The first thing you have to recognize is that one cannot train someone to be passionate--it's either in their DNA or it's not. You either have it or you don't. There is no way to teach passion. It's something that has to be in you.

When you are born, your soul is already filled with passion, but it will ebb and flow throughout your life depending on your experiences. Some people are born with it. They are born with the ability to naturally give their all to whatever they do.

Others, especially those who are raised in a family where passion is lacking, may try at first, but soon lose the spark altogether. However, you can nurture this love for your work or hobby or whatever it may be by surrounding yourself with those who share your enthusiasm.
