Recently, I’ve heard people say they’re passionate about other people’s passion. At first, I assumed it was just another form of mimetic desire, wanting what others want. But it’s not. It’s something subtler.
We are always been drawn to people who come alive when they talk about what they love, the way their eyes shift, their tone deepens, their whole body syncs to that one thing. You can feel their pulse in their words.
It’s not that I want to do what they do. It’s that I’m fascinated by the flow state they’re in. That flow where time dissolves, where they merge with what they’re doing. That aliveness is magnetic.
What draws us isn’t their craft. It’s the clarity that comes when purpose and presence align. It reminds you that somewhere within us, we also have something that could make us feel that alive.
Being passionate about other people’s passion isn’t imitation. It’s resonance. You’re not chasing their path but you’re remembering your own capacity for depth.
Let others’ passions remind you that aliveness is contagious, not competitive.
Cheers
