Passion Or Choice?

How more choices can help us to find our true calling?

Finding passion is so hard that most of us couldn’t find it. It’s so awkward nowadays to say that we don’t have a passion for something. Maybe because with the help of the internet, people turned their passions into money-making machines. Those who could dance, became an online choreographer, those who were crazy about filmmaking became vloggers.

And the rest of us couldn’t find our passions and we got stuck at 9–5. So, to have a good life, we must need passions? I would say we should start with choices. We should try more things ( even random ) as early as possible in life. With trial-and-error, we will have more options to try new things and the probability of finding something amazing that we might feel passionate about will grow with each try.

However, what we couldn’t find anything? A decent 9–5 is more honorable. The only thing that matters is you gave your 100%. Don’t fall into the trap that you have to have some inner calling, what author Cal Newport would suggest is to gain career capital, which will enable you to leverage your skills to make you money rather selling your time for money. And money is actually time that you can buy to live the rest of your life on your terms.
