Seven Steps to Evolving a Passion… and Making it Work
Step One – Gather Sparks of Curiosity
Don’t have an inferno of passion driving your actions yet? Don’t worry about it. Most people I know don’t. And if you are under thirty, you are probably in the overwhelming majority.
The first steps is to simply invest your energy into whims. Those little sparks of interest where you don’t know enough to make them a passion. Ben Casnocha calls this seeking randomness. For me, it has been a process of finding my intuition and using it to make small investments in things that are potentially interesting.
Isso significa ler livros diferentes, participar de atividades diferentes e conhecer pessoas diferentes. Relações amplas oferecem muitas oportunidades de encontrar uma paixão que pode funcionar.
If your interests are genuine and worth exploring, it shouldn’t be too difficult to eliminate the non-essentials. Distractions such as television, excess internet usage and video games only take a bit of conditioning to free up. The hard part is reallocating time you don’t believe is yours.
I don’t suggest becoming a starving artist and racking up huge debts. But avoid expanding your life to fit a bigger and bigger paycheck if you aren’t living your passion. Otherwise you simply trap yourself into a life that is comfortable, but otherwise dead.
Leo Babauta, autor de ZenHabits is a great example of this. With six kids, freelancing work and another job to help support his family he found ways to cut expenses and focus on his passion. His website has quickly grown to become incredibly popular, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a stable source of income for him in a few years. Live minimally, and avoid getting trapped into a comfortable, but unsatisfying, life.
Você precisa transformar suas paixões em desenvolvimento em uma habilidade que possa suprir às necessidades humanas. Algumas paixões são fáceis de traduzir. O interesse por computadores pode permitir que você se torne um designer de software. Outros são mais difíceis. Uma paixão por poesia pode ser mais difícil de atender a uma necessidade humana específica.
Monetizing value isn’t easy. It requires that you learn how to market, sell yourself, and find ways to connect human needs. Whether you intend to work in a job or own a business makes no difference. You are the CEO of your life, so you need to know how to connect your passions with serving other people.
Not all your passions will or can finish the sixth step. But as persistent as the myth you need to decide what you want to do with your life, is the myth you can only have one passion. I’m at a point where cultivating passions has meant I have too many options. Too many possible paths that could lead to enjoyable and fulfilling careers. Don’t obsess over one failed attempt.

Passo Dois: Atice as Chamas do Interesse
Depois de se expor a muita aleatoriedade, você precisa cultivar os sucessos. Construa sobre as pequenas faíscas de interesse que surgem na sua vida. Se você leu um livro sobre física e gosta do assunto, tente fazer uma aula de física. Se você gosta de programação básica, tente um projeto pequeno de software.Passo Três: Corte Distrações
Cultivating whims and exploring new passions requires time. One of the reasons I’ve placed such an emphasis on productivity with myself, is that without it I couldn’t explore these options.If your interests are genuine and worth exploring, it shouldn’t be too difficult to eliminate the non-essentials. Distractions such as television, excess internet usage and video games only take a bit of conditioning to free up. The hard part is reallocating time you don’t believe is yours.
Passo Quatro: Viver Minimamente
If you already have a job you aren’t passionate about, work only as much as you need to keep going. Valid passions need time to grow into income generating skills.I don’t suggest becoming a starving artist and racking up huge debts. But avoid expanding your life to fit a bigger and bigger paycheck if you aren’t living your passion. Otherwise you simply trap yourself into a life that is comfortable, but otherwise dead.

Live minimally, and avoid getting trapped into a comfortable, but unsatisfying, life.
Passo Cinco: Crie uma Paixão que Crie Valor
Se você tem uma habilidade que cria valor social, pode ganhar dinheiro por meio de quase qualquer meio. Monetizar uma paixão exige habilidade, como qualquer empreendedor pode dizer, mas sem oferecer valor legítimo é impossível.Você precisa transformar suas paixões em desenvolvimento em uma habilidade que possa suprir às necessidades humanas. Algumas paixões são fáceis de traduzir. O interesse por computadores pode permitir que você se torne um designer de software. Outros são mais difíceis. Uma paixão por poesia pode ser mais difícil de atender a uma necessidade humana específica.
Passo Seis: Encontre uma Forma de Monetizar Esse Valor
Uma vez que você tenha a capacidade de criar valor social, precisa transformar isso em um processo repetível para obter renda. Isso pode ser na forma de um emprego. Como programador, você poderia ser contratado pelo Google. Ou pode levar a se tornar freelancer ou empreendedor.Monetizing value isn’t easy. It requires that you learn how to market, sell yourself, and find ways to connect human needs. Whether you intend to work in a job or own a business makes no difference. You are the CEO of your life, so you need to know how to connect your passions with serving other people.
Passo Sete: Volte ao Passo Um
Descrever esse processo em etapas é enganoso. Isso implica que há um destino. Não há destino. O processo de seguir caprichos, cultivar paixões, transformá-las em habilidades valiosas e, finalmente, obter renda com elas é para a vida toda. Tenho algumas paixões que estão nos passos um e dois. Este blog está no meio do sexto passo. Em dez anos talvez eu tenha passado por todos eles com uma paixão completamente diferente.Not all your passions will or can finish the sixth step. But as persistent as the myth you need to decide what you want to do with your life, is the myth you can only have one passion. I’m at a point where cultivating passions has meant I have too many options. Too many possible paths that could lead to enjoyable and fulfilling careers. Don’t obsess over one failed attempt.
