This is something I think about a lot, in particular because I have a wide range of interests. I often second-guess myself and am never sure if what I'm doing is my "real" passion given that I'm intrinsically interested in plenty of other things. I've read a mountain of books and research on this topic, many of which challenge the "10,000 hour rule" and provide evidence that a) we do have natural inclinations for certain types of activities and b) we can get great at them extremely quickly. I'm working on an essay that distills everything I've learned and have been emailing it out piece-by-piece. Happy to send it to you if you'd like: https://stewfortier.com/start-here https://stewfortier.com/start-here (email form at bottom) ^You can also check out the "Genius can't be taught" post for a specific answer to your question
