You can try to chop yourself up, force a square peg into a round hole. But it will be messy and clunky. You can clench your fists and pretend you’re a circle, if you wish, scraping your edges round and raw. For me, however, living this way was miserable and excruciatingly painful.

Stop Telling People to Follow Their Passion

When we try to find our passion, without the roadmap of curiosity, we are looking for a living, moving, breathing and all-powerful thing.

It is not yet moving things around, shining brightly, creating, singing, shouting, or dancing. It has not yet uttered its first sound or made its first move.
