Concentrating on the fact that we live in a world where some people are still looking for "their passion", while others are lucky enough to be living theirs, for a passionate few September 30 was International Passion Day.

The day - or any day - is described as a good time for us to reflect on how much richer and happier our life will be when we become more passionate, more stimulated, more turned on about our lives, our relationships, our work, our possibilities.

And we grow to realise that even if passion does not make the world go round, it's what makes the ride worthwhile.
