People will tell you to find your purpose or your passion. But we are multifaceted beings with many gifts, talents, interests, and ideas. Yet we are put under pressure to have this one purpose or one passion.

Bring your drive to everything you do
Instead of concentrating your energy on one purpose or passion, try to focus your energy on bringing your passion and purpose to everything you do.

- What level of openness and curiosity should you have to bring meaning to tasks?
