[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s her passion? 
Don’t wallow with her complaining. 
What does she want improve about herself?[/quote]

I was actually going to day that she is frustrated bc she has heard this narrative of finding your passion her whole life. I agree. I felt lazy and less than for much of my life for not having a passion. It kind of even arrested my career development bc I couldn't figure out what direction to go or how to do it bc I couldn't figure out my passion. But now close to 40 I feel like this whole idea is kind of BS. [b]having a passion is like having a calling, it's actually pretty rare, it usually comes at the expense of other aspects of your life and it should not be something everyone goes searching for! [/b]Being good at a lot of stuff but not amazing makes her pretty bad ass compared to the general public![/quote]

Yup. This "having a passion" thing is bunkum. It's fine to have a passion (although, as the PP says, it usually comes at the expense of other things). It's fine to have multiple passions, either simultaneously or serially. It's fine to not have any passions right now. It's fine to not have any passions ever. Seriously, where did this "having a passion" thing even come from?[/quote]
