Weâve all grown up hearing statements that sound like âThere are more important things in the world than moneyâŚfollow your passionâ or âWhen you find your true passion, youâll never feel like youâre working a day in your life.â
In our culture, there is a premium placed on "finding our passion", as though somehow once we've found it, our lives will finally start to come together as we've always imagined. Weâve held onto these beliefs about passion and have made daily and even life-changing decisions based on the principle of following our passion.
Is passion important in living a fulfilled life? Absolutely. But as the famous adage goes, âItâs not the things that you donât know that hurt youâŚItâs the things you think are true that arenât that really mess you up.â
Unfortunately, there are a number of beliefs we have about trying to find our passion that are creating more questions, frustrations and confusion in our lives. Of course, something in these beliefs must be true (or they wouldnât resonate with us so strongly), but how do we separate fact from delusion? Instead of hoping to find a life of passion, how do we CREATE a life we are passionate about living?
The Delusion of Passion: Why Millennials Struggle to Find Success was written to clarify truth from delusion in our commonly held beliefs about passion, and to put people in the driverâs seat, creating a life they are passionate about living. It is written for Millenials and by Millennials to help our generation tap into new levels of productivity and intentionality in everything we do, and in our pursuit of personal excellence. Even those not in our generation have gained insights from this book into the Millennial mind, on how to work with Millenials effectively, and helping to clarify their own personal journeys as well.
