There's a pervasive narrative that infects us.
It's one that's been fueled by countless commencement speeches, motivational posters, and well-inte...

Nicely written, the reason why most people confuse that initial spark with passion is that sometimes they expect appreciation of their work too early in the process. That too, emerges naturally as you master your craft, I believe
That's an interesting observation!
It's true, though. When we're learning something new... we struggle and struggle and we keep going... and then, as if by magic, it FINALLY clicks! We get so excited -- and rightly so!
Unfortunately, sometimes when we share our excitement with others who may have already learned what we are working on or who have more experience than we do they don't appreciate our learning process. They might diminish our efforts or worse even admonish our excitement because of the "trivial" nature of the subject.
To me, I see this as a hallmark of immaturity and an opportunity to grow for all involved.
The more senior would do well to remember their joy when learning and appreciate it in someone else -- providing encouragement and congratulations to a student.
The one learning would do well to remember that everyone is human and on their own journey of growth -- providing patience and deference to someone potentially just having a bad day.
As we progress, the nature of the epiphanies change. The passion emerges and grows and flows through the mastery. It becomes self-evident and pretty soon we end up surprising even ourselves with what we're able to accomplish.
This was beautifully written. The journey outlined in Experience First is precise in its layout. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the love

Thanks Vishal, appreciate ya!
Love this post! I totally agree and love the way you reframed for me a question I always hated and the overused "following my passion" blah blah. Well done sir!
TRUth this
I guess I can understand this... some people like somebody first, and then get together and get married.
Some people see somebody, and think it may be a good business or good team, and they go in and they form a good team really.
I guess there is no fixed rules.
The latter one, I found, occur to people I know who are Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus. Somehow to them, life, or passion, is a sort of business kind of thing.
Not that anything is wrong about it. America is all about business anyway. Taylor Swift's song is also about if you have a tie and suit and wealth, she has a blank space to put your name down to have some heavenly joy later. It sounds like business. And it is cherished by hundreds of millions.
Honestly, it depends on you.
I have been drugged, beating, raped, fought, been (metaphorically,) to the moon and back, solved mysterious, helped the world, been homeless, owned nice cars and clothes, been with amazing women, had too little, had way to much! And I will say this. I did whatever the fuck I wanted the entire time, and I do not steal, lie (I try... I am not perfect,) but I never gave up on my dreams. Family laughed, friends left, jobs melted away. But I now...I have damn near 24/7 to work on my passion, to sit here while they slave away making millions in chains trying to figure out how to get a weekend....
I would not give up my dreams, if you had a loaded gun to my head - you better pull that fucking trigger.
