Jonathan challenges us to look at interests rising to passions in our life. This maybe a place to listen to his 2x20 episode regarding how to use the next two years to plan out your pursuit of passions for the next twenty years. It’s a very honest perspective and a simple framework to set us up for success in the next phase of life and work.
Super topical with the olympics and paralympics season at the moment. Also listening to Alex Honnold talk about the impact of fatherhood on his solo free climbing thinking. I was in the Nobel museum in Stockholm recently but there did not seem to be a clear connection between success and positive or negative passion/obsession. For some winners it was a joy and single positive focus, for others it seemed obsessive and personally destructive. It makes me reflect that I don't feel a strong pull towards one dominant activity.
Lots to ponder here. I think the biggest obstacle for most people is not having 4 - 5 hours per day to practice because they're working full time and raising kids. Even the most passionate people I know have trouble finding those hours in a day based on the pressure to make money, take care of a home, show up for family members, dealing with health issues and so on.
