Stop looking for your passion | Terri Trespicio | TEDx SHORTS

“You don’t follow your passion, your passion follows you” this is wonderful 👏🏾

This is so wise and so true. I needed to hear this at ages 16-20 when I was looking for my “passion” and thought something was wrong with me, that I didn’t feel a strong calling to some kind of work.
I chose *not* to go to college, against a lot of family pressure. I graduated from two different trade programs, and currently work as a shop locksmith (part time now, as I became a mom 13 months ago!) I had goals in life, and really my passion is any job where I can work with my hands, and work with a team. Once I realized that it was so broad, that was such a relief. I can be happy in many professions. Just wish I had realized that years earlier.

Sometimes it's really tough to determine what to do for the rest of your life. Society is pressing us, "find something, wow you Age and have nothing to do? What will you dooo?" man it's so tiring! Im fed up with this, have we forgotten to have fun and learn already? Have we rotten? Ahhhh, but i hope we don't mind it that much, let's try to have fun while solving problems and dealing with issues!

When you find your life's purpose, that's when life begins. Follow your heart & never allow sentiment or people's opinion to divert you from your true dreams & goals 💖
Passion is a requirement. It provides the necessary energy to motivate you to achieve those very same dreams & goals. It propels you to achieve greater things in your life.
⚠️ You change your direction, you do not change your

If you want to be success in your life find your passion 👌

She's so right about passion just being emotion and emotions can be fleeting. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with already having a passion and going for it, unless it's something like being a career criminal or something 😀, h e r angle lends to mental flexibility and being comfortable in that flexibility. And, tbh, what's wrong with someone just wanting to work a regular ole job and just chilling in life? Maybe have a fam or whatever but no big desire than just to exist as is without chasing something "greater"? We're not all cut out to try to constantly be different things to ourselves or different ppl nor do we want to be.

Most of ppl's drives are based in ego, anyway, which is basically an emotion. Some have bigger egos than others of course and many seem to be aesthetics driven, which lead them to be shallow, narcissistic, and hollow ppl which is not necessarily a good contribution to the world. It helps contribute to more and more ppl wanting to be like them and copy their behaviors, and in this day and age of the internet, particularly social media where ppl can literally become millionaires just recording, editing and uploading vids for ppl to watch or livestream a lot of "nonsensical nonsense". These ppl may not be good examples to follow because of particular aspects that are fed to their viewers.

Any, just some thoughts...
