Passion Fades, Purpose Stays

2025-06-27 | Passion is great; but consistency is more important than staying excited discipline is what keeps you moving when passion fades tags: motivation
  • It’s not about doing what you like, it’s about liking what you do
  • One thing I’ve found myself getting used to, is chasing what feels good
  • Sometimes I find myself putting in more effort into the things that excite me, or only showing up when I’m in the mood
  • Purpose doesn’t always come dressed in passion
  • Sometimes it comes in discipline, in doing the work, in choosing to stay consistent; even when it’s not fun
  • You won’t always love the process, but you can learn to love what it’s producing in you
  • It was never going to be easy; it will be worth it1
  • So even when it’s tiring, even when it might feel unseen; keep going, keep giving it your all
  • Because what you are producing matters and is not in vain
