Passion is not an actionable word.

It is correct that those who do what they are passionate about do better, but it is

not helpful advice. And so the question is where does passion come from? Passion is a result.

Passion is an energy. Passion is the feeling you have when you are engaged in something that

you love. Passion is the feeling you have that you would probably do this for free and

you can't believe someone pays you to do it. And I think we mistake that passion is something we do

in our private lives but it shouldn't be done in our careers, for example. And I'm a firm believer in

you are who you are and anybody who says I'm different at home than I'm at work

then in one of those two places you are lying. The goal is to make everything you do at home

and at work something you have excitement to do. So how do you find the thing that you are excited to do?

Well, It is actually easier than you think. What are the things that you would love to do? What are

the things you would do for free? You know, how can you recreate that feeling and be paid for it?

So, what are the things that I do in the weekend? I'm very involved in the art world. I love to go to museums and galleries and

I love to go see dances and performances because I want to see how others are interpreting the world.

That inspires me. New ideas, new thoughts, new ways of looking at the world

are things that interest me, privately, and I seek it out and pay money for it.

So, does that mean I have to have a career in the arts? No. That means I have to have a career where

new ideas are explored, where people are experimenting and trying things out and I have to explore

new ideas and try things out and I'm just as excited to go to work every day as I am

to go do something on a Saturday night. The idea of finding your passion is ironically simple.

Because you should be doing stuff that you enjoy sometimes. What is the stuff that you

enjoy and what is the stuff that you love? Who are the people you love and what do they

all have in common?
