Stuck figuring out what to do with your life? We can blame Passion.
Dave Evans correctly points out that “what’s your passion?” is a dangerous question. When we use a question to judge and organize our life, we empower its hidden beliefs.
(1) We all have a passion
(2) You’ll know it early in life
(3) Your passion won’t change
(4) It’ll make you money
(5) The world will let you do it
The alternative is to look for clues in your interest. Talk to people, prototype and learn.
Designing Your Life is a great place to start.
