Stop Looking For Your Passion (Do This Instead)
In Today’s Email…
Last week someone asked me how to find their passion, and I realized something important: you don't find passion - you create it through consistent, imperfect action.
Here's why this matters:
Most people waste years "searching" for their passion
The most passionate people just started doing something
Everyone who's great at what they do began as a complete beginner
The secret isn't finding your passion - it's being willing to start
So this week, we're diving into the truth about passion, and more importantly, how to actually start building yours today.
🥶The Raw Truth
People want to find their passion, you don't find it, you create it, and you create it by getting good at something and to get good at stuff, you start by doing something you suck at, then you get good then you like it then people ask how you found your passion; answer: start by doing something you suck at and don’t give up.

👀 Deep Dive
Have you ever watched a child learn to ride a bike? They start wobbly, fall a lot, and maybe even cry. But with practice, they get better. Soon they're zooming around with a huge smile, loving every minute. That's exactly how passion works - you don't find it, you build it by getting better at something.
The Big Secret About Passion
Here's something most people won't tell you: everyone starts bad at what they later love. Think about your favorite athletes or artists. Before they were great, they were just beginners who kept trying. Even Pablo Picasso, whose paintings now sell for millions, started with simple drawings that looked like a kid made them.
Why Being Bad is Actually Good
Starting bad at something is like having a blank notebook - it's full of possibilities! When you're bad at something, you can:
See yourself improve quickly
Feel proud of small wins
Learn without pressure
Discover new things about yourself
The cool part? Every time you get a little better, your brain gives you a happy feeling. It's like a video game where each level-up makes you want to play more.
The Real Way Passion Grows
Imagine planting a seed. You don't find a full-grown tree - you grow it. Passion works the same way:
First, you pick something useful - maybe coding, cooking, or playing music. You'll probably be pretty bad at first (and that's okay!). But each time you practice, you get a tiny bit better. Those small improvements feel good, so you want to practice more. Before you know it, you're telling everyone about your new hobby - that's passion growing!
Why Most People Get Stuck
Many people say, "I can't find my passion." What they really mean is, "I don't want to be bad at anything." It's like wanting to be a master chef without ever burning a meal. But here's the truth: being bad is your ticket to becoming great. Everyone who's really good at something started by being really bad at it.
