And it's amazing.

If I was forced to eat it every single meal, I wouldn't like it as much.

And so we have this misconception about...

following your passion.

And in both scenarios, if you do the same thing all the time that you love, you'll stop loving it because you'll get so much of it.

The fact that it's rare is what makes you love it.

And if it stays rare, then it means that the vast majority of your time, you're not really doing it.

And so it's just a complete myth.

And I understand why people tell younger people or other newer entrepreneurs like, oh, follow your passion.

It's just because it's politically correct and it's easy to say, but it's not the truth, right?

And so you're not going to have the perfect amount of sunshine for the perfect amount of time

And so let me reframe how I think through this is that you want moments.

You want good days, not a never ending work state of this jolly thing that you love, because eventually you'd adapt and you would get bored just like everything else.

And so here's the underline.

You're using the excuse of a lack of passion to disguise your inability to handle difficulty.

to handle hardship, to handle enduring, to handle being able to repeatedly do things that you don't enjoy, to have something that you do find meaningful have happened, to make it real.

And so this is what actually happens in the real world, right?

So unless you get very good at your passion, you will have to do things that you like less to pay your bills, period.

That's real, right?

And then number two, as soon as you are good at your passion, your demand will outstrip your supply of time and 95% of what you do will not be the thing you love, but stuff that you do to support the thing you love, which you may indeed not love.
