I am Vichin Laciani, founder of Mind Valley, the School for Human Transformation.

You're listening to the Mind Valley Podcast where we'll be bringing you the greatest teachers and

thought leaders on the planet. They discuss the world's most powerful ideas

and personal growth for mind, body, spirit, and work.

I was running a workshop in Vancouver about three or four years ago, and I in the what I thought was a flow and I was

talking about passion and I thought I was doing pretty good. I thought I was doing

pretty good until this girl puts her hand up,

and she says, you know Philip, I get all this passion thing.

She says, I've lived my passion.

And I'm sitting before you.

I'm broke and I'm miserable.

Not kind of the thing you really want to hear as a speaker

when you think you're doing pretty good.

So I said, okay, so what was your passion?

She said, soccer, football as I would call it.

So I think well you know who did you play for or who did you play with?

She said my country and if anybody knows anything about Canadian soccer for women,

it is extremely high level.

So it says, where does football or soccer fit in your life right now?

And she says, I'm not involved in any capacity in football right now.

That's the first piece of information that I took in because if it was her true passion

she would be in it regardless of whether she can monetize it or not.
