Passion-hoppin’ 🤸🏽
I studied psychology at uni thinking I’d be a therapist,
Then I explored event planning with the hopes of becoming a wedding planner,
Then back to psychology and the potential of becoming a school counsellor,
And after that I went down the travel blogging route.
All while having the daunting question in the back of my mind, constantly asking: “what is my one true passion in life?”
I listened to a podcast by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer the other day and fell in love with the way she made sense of it all.
She said, although there are people who have one single passion throughout their entire life (like herself being a writer), there are so many that go through their lives exploring different passions. Those are following their curiosity. And not only is there nothing wrong with that but most often, they actually end up finding their place in life. And so much good has come out of it. That is why, my favourite author here, tells us to follow our curiosity rather than our passion.
I loved this is much I had to share. If you’re like me and this question has kept you up at night, I encourage you to listen to this beautiful podcast. You won’t regret it.
And like always, if this sparks something in your mind and you wanna discuss it with someone, you know where to find me.
