ā€œI think that passion, it looks and feels different for different people. There’s also a reality in the mix of I may be passionate about, you know, some obscure form of art, but Iā€™m not able to support my family off of that. So I may find a career that’s interesting and challenging, but my passion remains in that obscure form of art. And that’s fine. I think the word passion can be a bit extreme for some people, and it can make them feel that if they don’t have a passion, will they be unhappy in their career? And that’s not it. But what I sure want for people is not to have the opposite of passion, which is feeling depleted and unfulfilled and it’s soul-sucking and you dread Mondays.ā€ Dr. Laura
