I'm passionate about my life, by that I mean I love it, I embrace what it throws up, I revel in it. I intend to squeeze everything I can from it.
I think one becomes passionate by taking the handbrake off.
Live fast, love hard, and die young..........Embrace Life with zest and love every minute of it.
Is that all it means to live passionately? Is living passionately no more than a matter of living feverishly?

Friend Sunstone,
For the benefit, just find the synonyms of both the words PASSIONATE & INTENSE.

Let's not argue semantics. The words are not identical in all their meanings and I was not using them as synonyms. I've altered my post to clarify my meaning.

To live passionately has to be a subjective assesment of ones life (or more specifically the events or actions that occure that help define that life). It can be self assessed or by another. Passion being the complex and strong emotion involving enthusiasm, intrest, desire etc. So if one treated such life events with this associated emotion, then one could be considered to have lived passionately.

No but if you don't find some joy and fun in it then what kind of life is it? Live each day like it is the last. Like I said embrace it, give it your all, make each day count.
Look forward to every day and make the best of it.
