"Perceive your purpose, not your passion" - Kabir Khanuja
If you wanna get successful in life, it's important that you chase purpose over passion, as purpose gives you resilience, and that's what will get you ahead. Instead of asking what makes you happy and "following your passion," instead ask yourself what you care deeply about. By focusing on purpose, you align your work with your deepest values and also relieve yourself of the expectation that the long slog of a career will be all (or even mostly) happiness and sunshine.
Lessons:
"Passion will help you sustain in this world just by paying your bills, but it's a short-term plan for your survival. It's the purpose that will help you know the meaning of life, well, a life of meaning and help you be motivated through-out to live, and that's what you call a long-term plan!" - Kabir Khanuja
