Did you know that you can also fail at what you don’t love? You might take that boring administrative job because it feels safe, but you hate the work and it is unfulfilling. Then one day, you get fired. You failed even at the thing you didn’t love. How crushing.
When you compromise and you still fail, that hurts the most.
The alternative is to do what you love and do it with vigor. If you fail, you fail. But the sting of defeat is tempered by the knowledge of your courage and the passion for doing the work you love.
It is much easier to rebound from that failure.
In a world where you might fail while doing what you love and you might fail while doing what you hate. Start by doing what you love.
