Hey I am on Medial • 21d

"Find you passion", They said, "Starve quietly", They meant Let’s be real! Somewhere between childhood dreams of being an astronaut-pirate and your third unpaid internship, the career world started to feel like a scam wrapped in a TED Talk. We’ve been sold the glossy idea that life aligns when we “find our passion.” What they don’t say: anxiety, confusion, dread of failure—and your passion might not pay your phone bill. "Do What You Love" – But Make It Capitalist Show a flicker of interest—photography, cooking, digital art—and society screams: “MONETIZE IT. QUIT YOUR JOB. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE.” Suddenly, joy becomes pressure. Now it’s not enough to love painting, you need an Etsy store, a YouTube channel, passive income, and a coach named Crystal yelling “lean into your brand.” We’re turning passions into products and hobbies into hustles. And it’s exhausting. Not Everyone Has a Fiery Passion – and That’s Okay Here’s a secret: Some of us don’t have one soul-consuming passion. That’s not failure, it’s human. People wake up unsure of what to do forever, and they’re fine. Living, learning, failing, pivoting, laughing. We created this false equation: No passion = No purpose. But life isn’t a BuzzFeed quiz. It’s awkward jobs, weird experiments, “meh” gigs, until something clicks or doesn’t suck. Passion Doesn’t Always Lead, Sometimes It Follows We treat passion like a compass to destiny. But often, passion is the result of doing something long enough to get good at it. No one dreams of spreadsheets until Excel helps track D&D stats. No one fantasizes logistics until they love bringing order to chaos. Sometimes, passion is a slow burn, not a lightning bolt. Stop Waiting. Try Things. You don’t need a five-year plan. You need five minutes of curiosity. Try things. Quit. Try new ones. Make messes. Pivot. My friend? Tried coding—fried his brain. Tried baking—burned everything. Tried dance—joined a cult. Still says worth it. You’re allowed to live in “I don’t know yet.” That’s where creativity and self-trust grow. You Are Not Behind Comparison is the enemy of joy, and Instagram doesn’t help. So your friend launched a startup at 22 and sold it by 25? Cool. Another friend is still figuring it out at 35 while writing poetry on their fire escape? Also cool. You’re not late, not broken, not doomed for not “finding your passion.” You’re evolving. You can pause, change, and redefine success, again and again. So… What Now? Let go of needing a perfect, shiny passion. Maybe your career is a quilt, not a straight line. Maybe you earn from what you like and keep your loves—music, writing, weaving—alive in your free time. Maybe purpose isn’t found, it’s built. And perhaps… “Finding your passion” isn’t the goal. Living—curiously, fully, chaotically—is. So... What’s something you’ve always wanted to try, even if you might fail?

You don’t need more time. You need less hesitation. Stop chasing perfect. Start building messy. Clarity comes after action. Not before. It’s not about doing it right. It’s about doing it until it’s right.

Hey I am on Medial • 1m

Don’t join a startup if you… 1. Think of work as a checklist of tasks. Startups aren’t about completing tasks—they’re about solving problems until you succeed. It takes grit, not just to-do lists. 2. Crave free time. Startups are not 9 to 5. They'r

If your startup can’t survive without funding, It’s not a startup. It’s a PowerPoint presentation. Don’t chase investors. Chase profitability, positioning, and product-market fit. That’s real entrepreneurship. #Vision2030 #ChakorOne

Entrepreneurs don’t fail because of lack of ideas. They fail because they chase too many. Every "let’s just test this" stacks up until your real priorities get smothered. Focus isn’t sexy. But it’s undefeated.
