Passion is SIMPLY OVERRATED. Bold statement, I know. But, here's the thing. Just because you like doing something, doesn't mean that that's what your career needs to be as well. Because you may be passionate about something that you enjoy purely as a leisure activity. As soon as it turns into work, that leisure activity that was fun that you were passionate about turns into a chore. We wanna turn our attention from following our passion to working hard at something, learning something, learning a valuable skill, and getting better and better. And the act of getting better, getting smarter, and having more people recognize you as an expert. That act of self-improvement and self-recognition is what actually makes you enjoy your work, enjoy your skill, and enjoy your career. You don't need passion. What you actually need is creativity, control, and impact. To wrap up, "Passion is overrated! 'Be so good that they can't ignore you.' Passion may then evolve from mastery.
