What Kills Your Passion
Passions tend to be developed. It’s not just about being intense about what you’re doing but waking up weekly, month after month, year after year, wanting to think about the same thing. It’s something fulfilling and satisfying, but it’s not easy;
What kills your passion?
Negative beliefs and definitions about who you are and what you can become are the number one passion killer. Beliefs, at their core, are just thoughts you keep having repeatedly.
