Stop Searching For Your Passion

[Posho]

I can't figure out what the lady exactly wants to communicate here. What are your thoughts?

Her passion does not match her definition of success.

If one's passion is  to give but their definition of success is to get. Then passion and success will not match.

If one's passion is to dance and their definition of success is to become a headliner, they may be disappointed. But if success was to dance the best way they can and enjoy it, then that becomes a more achievable match for success.

What do you guys think of this? How does mediums and passion play into LP? He is spot on with contribution and his idea of mastery but what about passion?

typically people speaking to not follow your passion, are speaking specifically to people who have a frustrating time either identifying "their passion" or who's passion is for some reason or other causing them failures or stresses when applied as a career. And the message is to create passion with what works, rather than force any (or no) passion you already have to work when it doesn't.

How is that applicable to this woman?

@Posho She believed that window washers don't feel any success at cleaning a window perfectly clean, because it didn't pay well in her eyes. Her approach was finding a job that will make you feel successful financially and in status. Do that first and then adopt this success as a passion that will maintain that type of success.

It is okay to get a job that pays the bills and gives one status as a definition of success. But there is nothing wrong with finding a heart felt passion and going for it either.
