Burning, lustful passion for what I want

On Thursday I was having a great "What do you want to do when you grow up?" conversation with a successful businessman. He knows and supports my efforts as an abstract artist, but he had a sneaking suspicion that I was still not moving toward a larger goal that I had set for myself. This conversation was awkward and it must have felt like pulling teeth on his end.
While I was saying how I'm interested in doing something in the holistic field (including but not limited to energy work, massage, conscious movement and sound therapy), he kept asking "why". My answer was "because there's never an end to that stuff. There's always more to explore and experience." Being a creator profile, I know that I am most inspired to develop a project and move on.
Then he said something that struck me. "You have to find something that you want to do so much that the desire is almost sexual." It might sound weird that a business mentor would say that to me, but it was incredibly useful.
Think about it all the energy and thought that is put into sexual desire. Now imagine being so inspired to do a project or to change something that you can't pull yourself away from it if you tried. THAT'S what I need to being into my life. I do get in that mode when I am taking my photos and editing them, but it usually depends on outside stimuli, such as a really interesting wall or graffiti that I can't wait to take pictures of.
I can't say that I've experienced that driven, passionate, lustful feeling on any project for a prolonged period of time. And I think that's exactly what needs to change.
I am committed to rediscovering any burning desires/passions that I have this week. I'll post again when I figure it out!
