You gave the example of the Boston Symphony flutist who felt there was more to her life than music, and she left her pinnacle career to become a leadership coach.

It seems dulling of passion is a common and perhaps natural evolution in the lifespan of a career.

If passion dulls, and that does not necessarily mean there's another trapeze to grab onto, having a second interest that one is passionate about, of course, is great, but what if there is not one?

Can you speak about the journey of people whose passion dulls, yet do not have anything to replace it with?

What do you think, Jan?
