We lose a lot of time in life over this confusion of “what exactly is my passion and life purpose.” There is this feeling that one’s passion should be self-evident from the moment one lays eyes on it. And that a burning desire for it just persists in our consciousness on it’s own, carrying us through all the hardships and difficulties of the path.

The truth is, if you want an extraordinary life, then you have to endure extraordinary hardship. And nothing outside of you is ever going to get you through that. The only thing that will make you endure are the resources that you find within yourself.
