Enlightenment or passion, which to chase first?

[lisindel]

Should I seek enlightenment before working towards a passion?

I've been on the path of searching for my passion since school about 5 years ago. But, as my values change with my development so does what I want to do in life, ending in much tail chasing.

If I seek a passion what if I find it meaningless once I pursue and obtain enlightenment?

[BipolarGrowth]

Something that makes you feel good and meanwhile does minimal harm to others is never meaningless. Joy is plenty meaningful. 
 

Unless you plan to do consciousness work for 12 hrs per day, you have time to pursue some passions. See pursuit of passions as a welcomed break from enlightenment work and enlightenment work as a welcomed break from pursuing passions. 

[Prakhar]

Follow your true passions until enlightenment becomes your biggest passion. Passion is the fuel that will get you anywhere you want. Where do you want to go next?

Enlightment should stand on the sholders of livelihood and job
