Passion / Motivation

[Jamie Universe]

Here's an analogy I've been working for passion.

So imagine passion/motivation is like a ship, a ship has a hull, has a sail, and needs wind to go forward, you also need people to help work on the boat and someone to steer.

I use this analogy because I find that having momentum in itself creates passion, purpose, and motivation. So the hull would be the infrastructure of your endeavor, for example, this forum, a business, a government, habits, etc. so its has a base to work off of , otherwise there is nothing to go forward. 

The next one, wind, goes along with the first one, if you have a business, you actually need to push it forward, and do something or else you will forget about it, and the thought and reality of it will disappear.

Your sail is something that lets it be pushed forward, because whatever your goal is, you need to be able to feed it, for example if your meditating, you need to have a consistent practice, because there might be other things about life, maybe your education, or family, that might stop your momentum right in its tracks, because its too time consuming.
