The "desire to improve" is synonymous with passion, as far as I am concerned. Otherwise, it would be called "begrudgingly required to improve".

- criddell 6y agoThere are a lot of self-improvement type tasks that fall between a passion and a requirement to improve. I'm trying to eat better and improve the quality of my sleep. I'm exercising regularly. I've recently started practicing guitar again because I want to be a better player. If you had similar goals, would you describe yourself as passionate about your diet? About your sleep? Passionate about working out or playing guitar?
- nikisweeting 6y agoYes, if they are things you actively invest time and energy into when you are not forced to, I would consider that a form a passion. It's not black and white, there is plenty of gray area between "I hate this thing" and "I really like this thing".
- dr_kiszonka 6y agoYour definition helped me understand my predicament. I have been passionate about programming for about a 15 years. Unfortunately, my love of programming has been largely unrequited; I still genuinely suck at it. I know people who has been programming for half this time, who tell me that they don't particularly enjoy it, but are light years ahead of me. And yet I keep at it because other things I tried aren't nearly as fun.
