- You have to find Your Passion.
- You must find The Thing only you have to offer the world before you can have fulfillment and joy.
- If you don’t find your PASSION, you’re doomed to failure.
Blah blah blah.
We’ve all seen the blog posts, headlines,and books. To be honest, they make me feel like I’m in high school again. I remember listening to the guidance counselor talk about the importance of picking a college major. I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to be when I grew up. I just remember the pressure I felt to get it right, to be a success at something.
I know now that when I was in high school, I could never have predicted the career I’ve ended up with. Why? Because I’d never heard of it before. I stumbled into my job sideways while looking in another direction.
In my opinion, the recent hype about finding your One True Passion is just that: hype. I personally think it’s more important that we “Have Passion” than that we have “A Passion.”
We should throw ourselves into whatever we do and do it with gusto. Forget the pressure of finding your one true purpose and give something new a try every now and then.
Who knows, maybe you’ve never even heard of Your One Thing yet.
