Passion

Passion is not something you discover.Ā 

Passions tend to be developed. Itā€™s not just about being intense about what youā€™re doing but waking up week after week, month after month, year after year, wanting to think about the same thing.

Clear out the distractions

One reason you may not know your passion: you havenā€™t given yourself the time and space to pursue it.Ā 

Reflect on how youā€™re using your time, and whether or not you want to be distracted by these temptations.

Think of a passion as like an internship

Most internships serve as a trial run for a job ā€” while youā€™re acquiring skills and knowledge, youā€™re also trying to see if you want to commit.Ā 

Just like an internship, a passion is something you learn by doing. It takes experience; it takes trial and error.

Be patient

During the learning period, youā€™ll need to tap into the other aspect of grit: persistence.Ā 

Make sure you give yourself a real chance before you move on to another activity.Ā

Remember the bigger picture

Every passion has its share of less exciting moments. For playing the viola, it may be practicing scales for the umpteenth time. For baking, it could be washing up.

The secret to not letting them derail you is to see how every way you engage with your passion ā€” no matter how small or dull ā€” is a step toward something bigger.

Avoid burnout

It is possible to go overboard while pursuing a passion. Ask yourself if youā€™re really burning out on your passion or if you just need more sleep.

When youā€™re exhausted, you should use your energy to help another person. It can boost your confidence and give you the sense that progress is possible.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
