I believe that people tend to use these words interchangeably without thinking very much about it. Although this isn't meant to be the end all of definition...this is my psychobabble about it...
I believe that purpose is what we use to turn us the direction we want to go. A compass. It's points and give direction while passion is about the motor that we use to drive us towards it. Passion is more than simple direction, passion is the raw material that we call on to juice our motor. This juice makes us feel alive...makes us feel driven.
This is why I believe you shouldn't ask what the world needs...but instead ask, what makes you passionate...what makes you come alive...because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.
This is the beauty of passion. It is a deep part of yourself...something that many people don't know about...don't care to know many times...but we know it's there. We feel it when we doing what we love...we call on it many times...think of when you're with your kids...when you are just engaged and lost in music...stuck and fighting a battle...you have all felt passion. if you haven't....you're lying.
Most people are other people...their thoughts are simply something they heard from another person...their lives a carbon copy of what they think they want to be...and their passions usually a quotation. Passion is unique...it's you...it is a collection of you....a combination of your shadow...your secrets...your love and your dreams.
What makes you and your passion different is that it's stamped with your personality. But that is passion...to find it you simply have to look into the darkside of your nature...you know...that dark and deep part of yourself...that area that holds pieces of us that we're busy denying...and use it as fuel to drive you.
boy...passion.
