Let’s talk about passion.

Some people tell you that you need to find your passion and follow it, no matter what. Others will tell you that passion is overrated — what matters is ambition and hard work.

I believe both things are essential to building a life that feels great.

If we’re being honest, chasing your passion can feel pretty indulgent sometimes. Most of us don’t have rich parents. We have families to care for and bills to pay, and we have to find a way to do both of those things while living our lives.

But passion is all about finding a balance between doing what you love now and building the future you want for yourself later on — and we know that can be tough. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: making space for your dreams in your life really makes all the difference.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It might be possible to make money but also feel fulfilled, so you don’t get stuck in a rut of regret and resentment. If you love something, don’t just let it sit in a corner and get dusty.
