Truth is: You will never find your Passion. That’s not how it works…

So many people go around expecting themselves to just fall over into their passion as if it were a pot of gold in a hole in the ground of a random street.

The problem is that because that is not how passion works, expecting life to hand it to you this way basically removes all chances of you ever coming about your passion.

You know the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”.

Finding your passion is kind of like that.

Life gives you all sorts of handouts, you just never notice.

If you keep looking for oranges, you will never see that you had the chance to make lemonade all along.

Right now you are already interested in some things, already want to invest in others and are generally motivated to do certain things more than others.

These are predispositions you have based on your genetics and your experiences.

These predispositions to certain things are just like the lemons life hands you!

I mean, do you really think Albert Einstein would have gotten as passionate as he did about Physics if he didn’t have some kind of predisposition for it? If he wasn’t interested in physics…
