Tasting Passion
Passion comes in two primary flavours:
- ambition, the self-serving kind that spawns cravings, expectations, and isolation
- compassion, the selfless kind that builds connection and brings happiness.
Like most things, it has two poles, and a wide spectrum in-between. Both poles pull you and provide motivation, but build different outcomes.
