When there's meaning and joy in the work that we do—we ooze with passion. And we can recognize that feeling when it happens. We put in the hours. We will at times sacrifice sleep or time with family and friends in order to pursue that passion. Because it feels worth it. When there's no meaning and joy in the work that we do—we would experience the opposite which is stress. And it doesn't feel worth it in the end. We are all passionate about something. But we are not all passionate about the same thing. When the work becomes deeply personal to us. We feel passionate about our work. We find that passion when we work with a vision that we believe in, and that we feel we can contribute with our abilities to advance something bigger than ourselves.
