Passion is not obsession. Passion is doing what it takes to get wherever you wanna be--never giving up until you've reached self-actualization---even going beyond that point! Obsession? well.....according to the dictionary: "A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion." ;)
We have to have a passion. Be passionate about what you do. Who you are. Where you're at. Be passionate about your accomplishments and what you can do. I believe once you're passionate about what you can do, you'll be able to do it to the best of your ability. More than 100%.
Be passionate about Christianity--our relationship with God--and you can grow closer to Him, because you'll have such a longing to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. You'll have such a longing to be with Him, do things through His will...etc. If you have a passion to grow closer to God, you will!
Don't be obsessed with what the world hands out. As the dictionary says--its often UNREASONABLE!--which it is! Obsessed with unproductive, negative music? It's unreasonable. There's no reason for it, unless you can explain how it's practical.
Don't be obsessed with what the world hands out. It's not going to satisfy you. It's like "sugar". It may be sweet and sort of tasty...but eventually you're gonna get sick of it and you won't be SATISFIED. Passionate about what God offers (His LOVE MERCY and FORGIVENESS) will make you satisfied AND happy.
So don't be obsessed.
Be Passionate!
