❌ Following your passion is bad advice ❌

It assumes you have an innate passion, not of your choosing, sitting inside your soul.

So what advice is better?

Discover *and then* grow your passion.

Passion grows as competence increases at the intersection of meaningful outcomes.

From Cal Newport:
Stop worrying about what your job offers you, and instead worry about what you’re offering the world. The craftsman mindset allows you to sidestep the anxious questions generated by the passion hypothesis and instead focus on becoming valuable.”
