Hey Fool.
I don’t know about you, but I’m done wasting life looking for something– that may or may not exist.
How did “PASSION” become the ultimate prescription to life?
Bored? Unhappy? Unengaged? Miserable?
That’s because you need to FIND your passion.
I’m not going to sit here and say that when it came to searching, there was no one more committed than me– but you should know, I breathed this advice to the fabric of my soul. I spent years doing absolutely nothing EXCEPT passion hunting. No friends, dating, not even side quests (hobbies)– only the mission. Only passion.
And guess what… that was a shit-ass life.
Needless to say, letting go was incredibly hard but liberating.
Look, it sounds awesome. A calling and purpose that when found- life instantly becomes your favorite movie.
The problem here? As you search, you neglect making the most of what you’ve got.
And each day you’re reminded you don’t have passion, is another day of you feeling angry and disappointed.
There have been studies proving this– even the individuals who started out passionate in their fields (the weirdos, who at 5 years old knew they wanted to be pro basket weavers), eventually returned to the regular earth rotation, where work isn’t always awesome-possum.
What these studies found is autonomy (having freedom to do your work) and competence (improving and progressing in skill) were the key determining factors to enjoying what you do.
That’s the answer to life, equivalent to the supercomputers 42.
Pick a valuable and economically relevant skill, and constantly develop it.
That’ll lead to a fulfilling life.
The whole- “finding your way” “Soul purpose” “Why I incarnated in this life” IS STUPID.
And it’s all a waste of life.
This is practical, proven, and immediate.
Try it.
Let’s do it together. For the next 3 months, only develop ONE skill relevant to this new economy.
