Passion

Screw Finding Your Passion by Mark Manson. I call bullshit. You already found your passion, you’re just ignoring it. It’s right there in front of you, you’re just avoiding it. For whatever reason, you’re avoiding it. You’re telling yourself, “Oh well, yeah, I love comic books but that doesn’t count. You can’t make money with comic books.”

Instead Of Trying To Find Your Passion, Let Your Passion Find You by Darius Foroux. We collectively believe in a lot of myths. One of them is that your life only makes sense if you do what you love. That might be true, but the pursuit of your passion can be equally satisfying, which is something we often overlook.

‘Follow your passion’ isn’t always the best line to put a person on the road to success by TN Hari (Bigbasket.com). The follow-your-passion line of advice conveniently ignores one important factor: Whether you are good at what you are passionate about. The underlying logic behind advice like this is undoubtedly examples of a few individuals who had extraordinary success by pursuing their passion. Often the other ingredients that went to contributing to their runaway success–like hard work, discipline and luck–are forgotten. It is so much easier and convenient to attribute success solely to passion and dish it out as advice.
