The Messy Truth About Passion Most people don’t actually know what the hell their passion is. And even if they think they do, it changes. Constantly. At 15, your passion might be football. At 20, it might be video games. At 25, maybe travel. At 30,

Passion Follows Mastery (Not the Other Way Around) Passion usually comes after you get good at something, not before. Think about it. You didn’t wake up one day as a kid and say, “Damn, I’m passionate about brushing my teeth!” But over time, as you

Why the Advice Persists (Even Though It’s Garbage) So, if “follow your passion” is so misleading, why does it keep getting recycled? Because it sells, it’s easy. It’s sexy. It gives people hope. If you’re a bestselling author or motivational speaker

A Better Framework You don’t need to “follow your passion.” You need to follow your problems. Ask yourself: What problems am I excited (or at least willing) to solve? What skills can I build that make me hard to replace? Where do my strengths inters

Passion Isn’t a Fairy Tale We’ve been sold this Disneyfied version of passion, where your career is supposed to be one long orgasm of joy, excitement, and purpose. Bullshit. Your career will have days you hate. Weeks you want to quit. Bosses who make you question your life choices. Projects that make you want to throw your laptop out the window. And that’s normal. Because that’s life. The presence of difficulty doesn’t mean you’re not passionate. It means you’re human. Passion isn’t about loving every second of your work—it’s about being willing to endure the crap because the overall arc of what you’re doing matters to you.

The Final Truth Bomb So let’s stop pretending passion is this magical career GPS. It’s not. It’s messy, it’s inconsistent, and it’s often misleading. Instead of obsessing over “What’s my passion?” start asking: What am I willing to work at until I get good? What problems do I find interesting to solve? Where can I create real value for others? You answer those questions honestly, and you won’t just “find” passion, you’ll earn it. And when passion is earned, it sticks. So the next time someone tells you to “follow your passion,” smile, nod politely, and then ignore the hell out of them.

A strong personal brand isn’t built by being perfect. It’s built by being recognizable. Your voice. Your tone. Your point of view. That’s what people come back for. Skills can be copied. Personality can’t. That’s your real advantage.

Spending time alone isn’t optional - it’s survival. Everyone throws around that line: “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” What they don’t talk about is how easy it is to lose yourself in that average. If you don’t
