https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/01/08/18/25/startup-593327_960_720.jpg A lot of people are out there looking for the secret to success and the secret to the good life. In my opinion, a good life is a life filled with passion and creativity. A life that's filled with doing what you love to each day. A life that's filled with adventure and exploring the unknown. The secret to all of this is to be passionate about everything you do. Finding the things that you're passionate about isn't straightforward. This is something that seems to be missing from the education system... Teaching people how to find and identify and cultivate their passions. This is something that you're going to have to learn on your own. There isn't really away around it: It requires A LOT of trial and error. Mistakes and failures. Getting up when it hurts and never giving up when you feel your lowest. Finding your passion is oddly filled with a lot of pain and suffering, but all the suffering makes it even better in the end. Just like drinking water once you've become very thirsty... It's far more satisfying when you have to endure to achieve!
