On Finding Your Passion
Excerpt from a podcast with Dr. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation.
Dr. Anna Lembke on Passion
Stop looking for your passion
and instead look around right where you are.
Stop distracting yourself, look around right where you are,
and see what needs to be done.
So not what do I want to do,
but what is the work that needs to be done?
And more importantly,
it doesn't have to be some grandiose work.
Like does the garbage need to be taken out, right?
Is there some garbage on your neighbor's lawn
that someone threw there,
that you could actually bend over and pick up
and put into the garbage can?
Look around you.
There is so much work that needs to be done
that nobody wants to do.
.. If we all did that,
[I really think] the world would be a much better place.
