Hey, I'm the dancer in the video. Totally agree with connecting with that deep-down hunger. I've tried many things - and quit many things. It's okay to quit. Quitting gives you the freedom to find the thing that you are truly passionate about.
- stephengillie 13y agoThat's a great point. I think we hear "winners never quit" so often that we think quitting is a "bad thing". But it's important to quit what you don't like to do so you don't lose that passion. Passion is something that has been coming up in job interviews lately. Recruiters and managers keep saying "Your technical skills are great, but we didn't think you were passionate enough" and asking "What is it that really drives you?". After spending my teens and 20s learning to accept that I can't have what I want, I'm having it thrust in front of me with people asking why I don't act like I want it.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoWhen you quit, do you have sight of what you're quitting for. "I'll quit baking and try bodyart" or just quit and then search for what to try next? I get bored. I genuinely feel that there's no activity or occupation I can remain passionate about for more than a couple of years at most.
