When someone in your life is asking the important “What should I do with my life?” question - have you ever told them “Just follow your passion”? If so, please stop doing that.
It can be so frustrating when people advise you, “Just follow your passion!” Yeah, sure, you’d love to—if only you knew what your passion was.
If you could do one thing to transform your life, I would highly recommend it be to find something you’re passionate about, and do it for a living.
Ever say to yourself, "If I could just figure out what I'm really passionate about, everything else will take off"? If so, you're not alone.

One of the most critical factors in reaching your dreams and goals is being passionate about what you are doing. Courage, persistence, connections, and intelligence may also help, but success can be sweeter due to passion.
Everywhere we go, we see people who are caught doing something that they don’t care about and struggling to get through each day. Not everyone falls into this web, though. For those who are passionate about what they do, work can actually be an exciting and invigorating experience.

I’ve become convinced that one of the greatest supports to a person’s happiness is passion—whether for musical theater, video games, constitutional history, camping, stamps, shoe-shopping, teaching English as a second language, or whatever.
