FIH and Flyer sounds like a great book, I’ll add it to my check it out list.
And I inherently agree.
Passion becomes critical. You have to believe in what you’re doing. You have to believe it will make a difference. You have to have the grit, because many have the desire or the desperation to long ten thousand hours doing it, or 20,000 hours. Sometimes only 3000 hours.
Without the passion you can’t keep it going. Like Carli, I kind of cringe when commencement speaker saw follow your bliss, or follow your passion. The pragmatic side agrees with her. My EQ side agrees with them, follow the passion, without it you’ll slog. You might be financially comfortable, but fairly neurotic and semi-burned out at 40. Consigning yourself Dickensian fight to maintain. It’s a mindset trap of scarcity.
Follow the passion, approach life from a mindset of abundance. We’ve talked about it before, to many lack meaning and don’t feel their jobs make a difference.
