Passion is a trap. Here’s what actually works.
Stop Trying to “Find Your Passion”

You don’t find your passion. You build it.
The idea that your dream job or life purpose is hiding somewhere, waiting to be “discovered,” is a lie that keeps people stuck for years.
You don’t stumble into meaning. You create it through action.
Here’s the truth:
Most people waste time thinking about what excites them instead of doing anything at all.
Instead:
Pick something useful
Get good at it
Solve real problems
Stack small wins
Passion follows progress, not the other way around
Example:
I had zero “passion” for writing when I started. But the more I practiced, got feedback, and saw it help people—the more obsessed I became. Passion grew out of momentum.
Action Step:
Stop journaling about your dream job. Pick one thing today that feels remotely interesting. Commit to doing it for 30 minutes. Build momentum. Rinse and repeat.
Closing CTA:
Waiting to “find yourself” is the fastest way to stay lost.
What’s one thing you can build passion into this week?
Cut the fluff. Do the work.
