The concept of finding what you’re born to do, before doing anything, is a recipe for doing nothing.
We find what we are passionate about by working first on what is in front of us.
Finding your passion is not like finding a wife. It is actually desirable to have several failures along the way.
Failures are a pointer.
If you fail at something, yet remain committed to seeing it through, and learning along the way, then that thing is for you.
If you fail at something, and give it up quickly, it was never for you.
But how can failure point the way when you’re waiting for what is to come and ignoring what is?
Instead of buying another motivational book or attending another seminar on finding your passion, open up yourself to the work at hand. It is a seed to the deep secrets of your heart.
