Your passion isn't waiting to be 'found'. You need to develop it

Taking this 'growth' view opens you up to possible new interests.

    IF YOU'RE bored with your job or looking to start the new year by finding a more fulfilling career, you may find well-meaning friends suggesting that it is time for you to "find your passion".

    An Amazon search brings up over 500 life-improving personal development books with "Find Your Passion" (or variations on the theme) as their title. It is also a phrase that frequently crops up in motivational college graduation speeches - find something you love doing and work will never seem like work again.

    Such advice is invariably well-intended, but is it actually good advice?
