If you're suffering right now in pursuit of the thing that you find meaningful,

there is nothing wrong with you. You are not on the wrong path.

And this is how it works and the people who try to tell you otherwise either don't know better

or actively are trying to destroy you.

People want to follow their passion, but don't even know what it actually means.

The root of the word, PASIO, is Latin for suffering.

So it's not about doing what you love.

It's about finding something that you love enough that it's worth suffering for.

And so pick something worth suffering for.

The first usage of the word passion came from Passion of Christ,

which was literally Jesus Christ's crucifixion story.

And so it's

interesting that this has been bastardized into following your passion means doing what you love.

I had a young man stop me, say that he quit his job, went all in on entrepreneurship,

but then he didn't like what his life looked like. He asked me what he should do. And the reality

was that he quit because he thought that he was

doing something wrong because he wasn't loving every second of it. And so here's the big problem.

Your passion only exists in the Vig, not in the specific. So even if you start a business around

what you believe to be your passion, 95% of what you do every day, if you're

successful, will not be your passion. You'll just have very brief moments. Well, you'll do that

specific thing, if at all. And so what's short-lived is this kind of like passion window is very

short-lived, or it's only possible as an employee where you actually stick to doing the same thing
