Nobody finds their passion. They practice it, they earn it.
Finding your Passion?
Nobody finds their passion. They practice it, they earn it.
Healthy passion is just like confidence — you have to earn it. You can’t chase it.
You dont wake up one morning and your passion is waiting for you. So, finding your passion is not the answer.
The question is not finding. Passion is created.
Passion is a product of action. You do whatever you are doing, with your whole heart and mind, you work at it, you work at getting better at it and in this process over time, you start to realize how passionate you are about it. Its not the “what” you are doing…that you are passionate about.
Steve jobs wasn’t passionate about electronics, Jeff Bezos is not passionate about e-commerce… They are passionate about the creation process, problem solving, building thriving enterprises..etc.
You have to love the process of creating the ”what” – Not the what itself.
The “what” will “suck” most of the time.
You have to love the process, the trial, the error, the testing, the failure, the improvement, overcoming the struggles and obstacles, and learning what works and what doesn’t – that is what you need to find.
It is the love of process - the “what”, doesn't really matter as much.
If you keep looking for the “what” – you will keep chasing “Air” . Start wherever you are and sink deep into the process – they joy of getting into the inside
Tennis champion, Novak Djokovic said in an interview with the Financial Times that “I can carry on playing at this level because I like hitting the tennis ball.” The interviewer replied in surprise: “Are there really players who don’t like hitting the ball?” Djokovic answered, “Oh yes. There are people out there who don’t have the right motivation. You don’t need to talk to them. I can see it.”
Healthy passion is just like confidence — you have to earn it. You can’t chase it.
