- How to Love the Process: 'Follow Your Passion' is bad advice. Following your passion often leads to dead ends and encourages us to endlessly pursue a perfect dream job that does not exist. With any job, there are parts you will and will not enjoy.

In this video, I go over why "follow your passion" is so commonly stated, why it's bad advice, and how to love the process. Don't chase after passion. Take passion with you.

Boy is this the truth. I was never initially passionate for school or becoming a PA, I grew to love the process. Seeing myself improve and finding joy in those small but meaningful academic achievements along the way. That is what kept me on track. Thanks for the great video.
I just love you, dude. A couple of days ago I had the lowest motivation bottom I have ever reached. Everything I have to do now is explained in this 7 minutes :D Thank you for this channel!
👍🏻
If I had a thousand dollars right now, I would ask your PayPal account, to transfer that money to you. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!

Commitment to the grind is key
Mahmud Hasan While you do grind, Play the song "I Got the Keys" lol. Another one!
Mahmud Hasan try that argument in south Korea where instead of going for jobs they wanted, people epitomize the very concept of getting jobs they hate, just to make as much money as possible, and now they have the highest suicide rate ;D while most working adults in other countries suffer from mental health issues, most commonly depression, from hating their boring shitty jobs.
Astral Dragon Ouch, Buzz Killington strikes again lol
Fry Wolf that's a vague complaint, not a counter argument.
Love the grind and grind your love!
Instead of "Follow your passions" we should change it to "Find a job you Think you'll Enjoy and be Good at, but be Realistic regarding your Abilities".
Too long I know, but kids need better guidance because most are fed useless information about the future and they end up lost, which is sad. High school fails to prep you for the real world, and I think they should change that. AMAZING video tho, I agree 1000%
Nickolas Alcazar Exactly! Coming out of high school I got the worse advice and I was lost for 2 years till I understood how the world works. They really need to change high school, or else its just the biggest waste of time for humans.
Fry Wolf i think high school is just a place for you to learn how to learn, along with some knowledge you may use in further study. but i think it's mainly for cultivating the culture of learning rather than the learning itself. and about other real world things that school doesn't teach us, i think that should be thought outside of school such as by the family. because you need the real world to teach you about the real world. just my 2cents.
Fry Wolf no evidence provided for "a job you will *enjoy* *but also be good at* (your revision attempt to get people to obey "market" demand and become mentally ill wage slaves for the economic model that causes a mental health crisis, you dont want people in jobs they enjoy, you want them at max efficiency despite trying to include "enjoy" in your claim) go ahead and prove that a majority of people "enjoy" jobs that they got just for "being good" or "efficiency and demand", psychological science doesn't care about economic opinions or "what you're good at", most people are psychotically depressed as a for example: accountant, whether they are "good at it" or not, the brain wants what it wants, and the human brain literally doesn't give a shit what a "market" or "economy" wants, it has biologically motivated intense personal interests/desires that do not bend for economic opinions or demands, and for people who give up their personal aspirations just to get jobs they hate but are "good at", a lifetime of depression is the inevitable result.
try the "just go for what you're good at" argument in south Korea where instead of going for jobs they wanted, people epitomize the very concept of getting jobs they hate, just to make as much money as possible, and now they have the highest suicide rate ;D while most working adults in other countries already suffer from mental health issues, most commonly depression, from hating their boring shitty jobs that they got.
also, what does "something you're good at" even mean? you're not "good at" anything when you're born, the entire point of learning is to become good at things.
Med School Insiders "be realistic regarding your abilities" is not an argument, it's a childishly vague complaint with no logic or evidence backing whatever point it's trying to make.
scientific fact: you have no "abilities" when you are born, the entire point of learning is to obtain abilities, and in the ideal situation, obtaining abilities you actually want.
If people already start out with "abilities" then why bother having an educational system, or learning resources/tutorials/books/etc at all? ;D
you literally broke your own logic in this video. you said "if it's a job that drains you and makes you want to escape then it may not be a good fit for you" but your entire video before and after is about giving up passions/personal aspirations and just basically submitting to the suicidal demands of the economy and just get a job you will be "good" at.
plus, you just broke your own logic by agreeing with someone talking about "be realistic about your abilities" which implies people should also ironically give up the discipline/work process you were talking about, because why work towards obtaining something if it's not already magically part of your "abilities"? ;D
Astral Dragon i think what he means is "capabilities". of course you can always learn new abilities. but will you be capable of doing everything that you are able to do? this is where we have to be realistic and admit there are somethings we cannot do. it's not a childish complaint. let me share my story.
i'm a third year med student. i love photography. i love playing music and performing. i love to write a fantasy novel. i love to garden. i love to travel. i love to learn about gadgets and apps. i love to study about my religion. so many things i love and, not trying to be boastful, but i'm pretty good at most of it. But with so many interests, i only have such little time to do all of this as a carreer. i have to be realistic and arrange my priorities well.
I followed my passion and don't regret it so far, but I also think that my understanding of passion is a bit different.
The way described in this video, passion seems to be just another word for motivation.
However when I'm passionate about something it's me seeing value in what I do.
I'm currently learning visual scripting (yes, I'm actually an artist) and it's a real chore sometimes to actually make things work.
But I'm constantly reminding myself that what I do is exactly what I want to to -> the task I am performing right now is developing me, my skills. I am in the process of creating something people can lay their hands on.
I also felt the video geared more towards motivation than passion.
To me passion seems similiar to 'having a strong interest' in something and a strong interest can give you the motivation to go through the tough process of learning.
I heard this quote somewhere 'Choose a subject that you feel is worth suffering for' (or something like that) so is the thing you're doing worth the struggles and pain throughout the process?
If yes, that's passion in my opinion. :D
I don't know, maybe I'm rambling. :)
Bananenbauer123 what meaning do you think visual scripting has?
Haibane Chan I think this is a very good realisation. I've been questioning myself on thinking about applying to study psychology, because art and math have been a lot easier for me in the past. But I think psychology is most worth the struggle, and I realize that math and art would make me suffer in the process as well at some point.
I've done the thing in scout leading; I don't always like it or feel motivated, but I know that what I do matters and its importance to me is bigger than my frustration. And as I've gained more experience, it has become easier and more enjoyable. (really, I'm not a natural with kids, but I'm learning my way to work with them, and it looks like the struggle is paying off.)
For some reason however I've made a difference between that and what "following my passion" in the work world should mean. I understand now that that was a mistake and they are the same thing.
Hey man, I'm in my first month of medical school after taking a gap year. I realized I had to re-learn time management, studying, and motivation. Your videos help SO much. I cannot emphasize that enough. I almost had a panic attack twice last week but watching your videos, getting mentorship, and working on self-discipline is helping me get my shit together. I feel like I can do this, and your videos are helping to supply the tools for me to do this
so.. four years later.. got any advice for a newbie like me?
You will probably never read this but I can't understand how everyone is agreeing with this video. I don't think I share your perspective. I'm a professional musician, my entire life consisted of people telling me I wasnt going to be able to find a job, I should give up, I wont be able to afford my american dream with 2.5 kids, etc. I just kept at it through two degrees and was able to support myself by teaching and playing afterwards. You literally can do whatever you want if you decide you're going to make it work. I would 100% stand behind Confucious's quote. I feel like your definition of passion is my definition of leisure activity.
I suppose this sort of message is okay to give to aimless kids or young adults that haven't learned a skill by the time they exit primary education, but people that want it bad enough should go for it.
Oh hey, you saw it. I wasn't sure if you'd be actively checking comments after the first week. I can absolutely agree with your point, "it's important to understand that you may love medicine, have passion for helping others, but that isn't what will get you to your destination." I dated a girl in college that had exceptional grades in Biochem/Pre-med to start out, but very quickly lost the motivation to continue once she started hitting those more time-intensive requirements in preparing for med school.
I consider myself extremely lucky in that my first instinct is to be skeptical of most claims off the bat; that's what led me to pushing away the negativity surrounding me in my youth and doing what I knew felt good. I'm not going to pretend that the same level to mental energy and fortitude for a musician is on par with a member of the medical profession, but even in my field you need to practice 5-8 hours a day sometimes just to keep up with your peers. The difference is that I did learn to love that process/grind so much so that now I even get a sort of 'runner's high' from it. Thanks for the reply, well made video I think I may have just had a semantic disagreement with some of it!
@@bassspace8892 hey may I ask what degrees did you get?
@@Bionicleforever A bachelor's in music performance and a master's in performance and pedagogy
Okay, but think of all the people who heard"you can do anything, and are now unsuccessful and struggling. Not everyone gets to the top point of a hobby, & some just aren't lucky. It's better for majority of people to be practical unless they have real talent or lucky.
@@sxpreme-2960 I absolutely agree with you. The reason why she succeeded as a musician isn't just because "you can do anything, if only you tried hard enough". It is not about "enough" efforts. Imagine somebody is a tonedeaf. No matter how much she loves singing, she will just become miserable if she "tries and never give up" to become a singer, because the truth is it isn't just about how much effort and perseverance you showed.
Thank you, this was really helpful. I was going through a roller coaster of emotions and it got triggered because someone said Medicine is not my passion and I thought "yes, it is not, but I think I can learn to love it while studying it", but then I got discouraged and I went through a lot of mental breakdowns, but now I'm decided to go after med school and don't be afraid of the process
Hi , can u tell me if you succeed in doing it or you realized that it's not good to force yourself to love something you didn't love it deeply before ??

This has to be one of the best....one of the most inspirational and the most timely videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much for creating this. God bless ! (Or the secular equivalent)

Great topic Jay! I agree, passion is fickle. I like Cal Newports take on this topic in his book, "So Good They Can't Ignore You". I think passion is developed not found.
I love that! Very nice way to look at it!
You're absolutely right. My passion for years has only grown, but my inattentive ADD is what's caused me to actually hate the process. I always study and read about my craft any chance I get, but actually trying to focus on something, whether I think about it everyday or not, has caused a deep hatred of the process that sunk me into a years long depression. At this point I want to give up, to quit caring, but my passion refuses to let me do so. I don't have health insurance and can't afford treatment and even when I could, I was prescribed only medications that made me suicidal. Like I said, you are absolutely right about this, but the knowledge alone isn't enough in my case. I don't know what to do, or how to apply what you've said. I can't get help from anyone and feel like I'm out of options...
I love this video so much. :) Your channel is one of my biggest inspirations for my own med school channel. I completely agree with you. In other words - it's not always what you are passionate about, but more about what you are willing to struggle for?

I'm 15 years old, my passion is coding, i go to the gym, i've been practicing tae kwon do for about 8 years, i know the market needs coders, i love coding!, I have a set amount of hours a day to code, and so far this is one of the very few but best moments of my life, I just love what i do, and i try to learn about investing even though i don't like it that much, I also love pretty much all sciences from med to quantum mechanics. i just know what i want to do and i'm passionate about it... a few months ago i was just playing video games...
Cracker Gamer omg u are in the exact same position as me! I used to be playing video game in the past until I came across some hardcore physics video on UA-cam. I went on to learn about them as well as some philosophy. Really hope I can become a successful physicist in the future and find out how the universe works before I die.
Edit: I'm 13
@@strategen9124 Hey there. I'm in the same boat as you! I want to model a human brain with a computer. If we can understand how we understand, I think we can learn so much about the universe.
"Passion can grow. It's not a matter of it being there or not. Cultivate it! " this is powerful.
I like how your channel deals with medical stuff but it is relatable to any field that someone is trying to pursue. Thank you for the video it really helped me
I'd recommend the book, "So good they can't ignore you," by Cal Newport. It not only makes the case that it is important to love the process to get better, but also how you can channel your skills into more control over your career and a sense of overarching mission. EDIT: a word
I've been on the fence about med school for a while despite it being the only choice in my mind cuz I don't like anything else. This video really helped me dude and I can't thank you enough for the time you take to make these videos that seriously help people =)
Also, Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You" juxtaposes the "passion mindset" with the "craftsman mindset" - worth a read.
Rad, "Deep Work" (as is "Flow") is an excellent book, working on implementing the infos now. Pretty simple to conceptualize, takes a little to put into practice. Thanks for your work, homie.
I'm a pre-med student and needed this motivation. I've been focusing on the destination and need to love the journey. Thank you so much, it feels great to have it explained, because advice from friends in family that aren't in a similar situation as you can make you question yourself too. Thank you
*don't chase passion, find passion in wat u do.* The best advice I've ever received. This redefined my understanding of hard work to be successful. Thank u so much.
Finally, an honest video about what it takes to achieve results. People are just so simple minded to think and believe that just because you want something so bad you're gonna get there. Though it's true to need to have the burning desire, you must have the discipline to apply yourself each day and not just make excuses of why you didn't archive your work today. I've got a whole process written on this because it's exact what worked for me and so many other of my colleagues. Keep up the good info.
I've heard this debate many times… I'd love to say you're right but nobody works toward something and completely sticks with it unless they are into it… For example over 10 years ago I lost 120 pounds… If I had found a diet that worked for me and exercise that works for me… I wouldn't have done it… I certainly wanted it badly but I needed to truly connect with the subject matter of the diet… … For years I tried to forget about loving something and just going for what made money. I tried a lot of passions career wise… But early on several on the nice conservative things that would simply just make money because that's what I was told… Go to something that makes money… You're going to hate your job anyway… So that's what I did… I couldn't live with myself so I returned to school… Became a psychologist… And then a career counselor and completely love my job... I continue doing career counseling for many years while at the same time expanding the depth and breath of my career into other areas… What you were talking about is way more complicated… people can indeed follow their passion but with some level of planning… You can't just dream of being Leonardo Divinci and just do it you have to be more planned around what you want....
While I certainly agree with you… On many levels I say it takes basic passion for work or the task at hand… Like I said I would never have lost over 100 pounds without truly having the "desire" which was fueled by a passion to not be fat.
And career counseling/consulting we take a much more consult of approach then just going for something you like. We take your interests, passions, skills, and experiences and create a holistic picture of something that might work as a career. I never worked with someone who liked basketball and advise them to be in the NBA… We would help someone take a passion and create a level of realistic expectation out of it… For example let's say you happen to like woodworking but ultimately after talking more with you it's specifically becomes apparent you enjoy working with your hands… As a responsible career counselor there are about 100 directions you could go into and explore if you like working with your hands… You don't need to make furniture. While I agree with your point you are making things very simplistic. In the career counseling world we keep it less simplistic than that… We are very focused on the reality of what people can and will do but are very focused on understanding their underlying passions.
These are terribly important in the career counseling process and formed the basis for driving The career counseling process… Since you're into process you should learn something more about it career counseling is about looking at everything you've got and picking something that reasonably makes sense. It's really something everyone should be forced to do the minute they get to college… reasonable high school career planning is generally unsuccessful because people are generally too young to make a rational reasonable choice when they are 15.
I think this is the most important video you've made. Out of the hundreds that I've been watched this is definitely it.
Apply self discipline, determination by doing something you love. Passion is important.
If you are doing something you are truly passionate about and put the work in in that "topic", magic happens man.
10 years ago my passion was to join the US Military, hasn't changed. Very soon I'll be enlisting in the USMC, with the goal of becoming a MARSOC marine. Can't wait ♠️🇺🇸♠️
Joseph Enriquez I don't have a problem with that but I would recommend a different branch as the USMC doesn't prepare you for civilian life or give you and skills to use after you finish your military career. Or if you want to make the military your career you should know the MC has the slowest promotions and the worst living conditions. I'm not trying to dissuade you. Just realize there are other military branches that need people dedicated to them, good luck.
Hey, Dr. Jubbal - I don’t know how you got the time to become so insightful into life AND conquer medicine, but I’m glad you that you did. Your momma (and the world) is so lucky to have you. You really are my hero.
One of the most powerful lines of your video is "Passion Is Cheap". You completely changed me that how wrongly we visualise passion. We need to love the process. People today are really fed the incomplete knowledge. Thanks to you but!
Passion works sometimes, and when it does, it crushes what the market wants..
wow finally someone addressed this concept of enjoying the process,, everyone is too obsessed with the end results which not only create stress for themselves but also put pressure on the other people around them.. when i was obsessed with losing weight at one point, i injured my knee because i wanted to achieve the end result in short amount of time but now i care less about the end results and i enjoy the little progress that i make every day...same is with the studies....
I initially thought I would disagree with you on this when I saw the title. But after watching I realized more and more that I actually totally agree. I want to be a musician, but I find things go way better for me when I enjoy and commit to the daily practice rather than sulking that I'm not as good as I want to eventually be. Passion is important, but it cannot be the only thing that drives you. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm currently studying history and law and I often get asked when I'll be done. Its only been 3 years but many people forget this is a long process of learning and failure and learning again. I enjoyed this video as it made me less self conscious and reasured that I'm doing the right thing by grinding it out.
Have a nice day!
Our Philosophy professor once told us that passion is something you're willing to suffer for. That was three years ago, one that I'll never forget because I kid you not, when he said those words it felt like a lock clicked in place as if my soul was telling me "honey, that is so true."
I can very much related. The summer upon graduating college I devoted all my energy to UA-cam / my videography business. It felt so liberating at first. But then it became a chore, and it showed. I got a job relating to my degree (IT) and at first I was depressed and it sucked, and was in a new city where I knew no one. But now I am beginning to love the process of what I do (business analyses / development) and I just keep looking for ways to grow
When I saw the video title I said to myself wtf does this guy think of himself.. I mean who in the word tells someone not to follow their passion. Now that the video is over I m changed.. My thought process has evolved. I mean wow. Such an incredible effect.. Thank you so much dude.. Keep making such videos
10 years ago I was passionate about the same things, surfing, traveling, climbing, skydiving, helping people with my knowledge. In 12 years (when I'm 40) I'm pretty sure they will still be my passions and main interests. Even if I'm raising a family it will evolve around the outdoors and learning about life that way. The confusing part is how to make money consistently around these interests and the balance of using my time to make money working a normal job, and advancing skills within my interests.
I absolutely agree with you!
My problem in studying for the bench exam is that the amount of material I'm supposed to learn in criminal, civil and administrative law is so overwhelmingly large that I can't seem to find any intermediate step that could be called a victory for the day or the week.
This leads me to being able only to see the end goal, which is months and months away in the future, and destroys my motivation. Anyone feeling the same?
Once you become good at something, that thing becomes your passion.
For example, i am a programmer, i struggled a lot during the early days of learning all programming grammar, syntax, i wasn't passionate about just sitting on a computer and typing code.
But, as i practiced, i became better and better at it, to the point, where i am sufficiently good at programming, and i enjoy coding. Now, i can say i am passionate about coding, because i am good at it.
So, just like that, once you become good at something, be it anything, you will be passionate about it.
Omg this just answered the biggest question of my life. Thank you so much for sharing this!! I'm glad it showed up on my feed haha
I really liked the point about how reality hits: there's only so many NBA places. I often volunteer at an Old Folks' Home near my place and chat with the elderly, many of which have had goals and have integrated habits that are very similar to that of the successful. Yet, they cannot afford to sustain themselves, or things just don't work out. This has really opened my eyes, and tells me that even if I try my hardest, things may very possibly still not work out, but you still have to try your damn hardest, and fall in love with the process. Only then will we be content.
"All results are byproducts of our actions and habits, and thats where the magic happens."
Couldn't agree anymore with this. Thank you for being so real!
interesting point but its all in your attitude. i followed my passion at medical school and through most things and they havent been ruined even through thick and thin. i think its entirely personal.
agree 100%. how you see the world is how far you'll get in it.
That is a very important lesson. If you can work with what you're initally passionate about, good for you!
But for those that are not that lucky, focus on the important stuff, recognize and cherish the small stuff that aren't bad in your job and you'll probably survive it.
best video about passion and reality, no criticism or brutally ripping off dreams. So many good points and great advice! thank you for sharing
some passions dont change. some things are inate in who you are. my passion is art. sometimes i dont want to do it but i force myself to start. i end up loving the process right after i force myself
Now you sir, are a legend. Thank you for your time and effort into making these videos. I was at my lowest motivation phase, now this video has given me a boost to start working hard again and achieve my goals. Please continue making helpful and motivational videos to help us achieve our dream, thank you and god bless you.
The truth about "carpe diem".That's exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. This video is the best video that I watched in my whole life. Believe me, I have over a thousand "liked" UA-cam videos and am 22 years old which implies how much videos I must have watched.
IRONICALLY, I think I suffered a lot from the pressure that I have to follow my passion! It always seemed like the way, the way to make me happy. So I constantly found myself asking myself "Am I following my passion?"
I think this is funny and sad at the same time. Withiut asking this question, I should have asked "Am I enjoying the process? How can I enjoy the process?" since our life and results are the addition of our every moment in our everyday lives, just as you said.
Once again, thanks for the wise.. wise sayings. I was so lost since I was in highschool but it is like I found the answer. I was lost because I did not know what a "success" is. I thought money and fame means happiness, but when I saw the real people this was not the case. So many rich and famous people are miserable. So I questioned "What is a successful life...?" I thought it is doing what you want aka following your passion. This wasnt the case in reality either because as you said, passions grow and fade overtime, which I experienced so many times. For example, I love singing so much that I sometimes sing for more than 8 hours a day, but some days I am just not singing at all!
However, thr notion that I had to follow my passion always triggered a guilty feeling inside me, asking "If you love singing that much, why don't you go for it? Why are you studying Biotechnology? I think you will regret in the future."
I think I repeated some of my points.. but it is that much that you impressed and enlightened me and gave me the answer I was looking for.. "Do not follow your passion, but enjoy the Process..."
I especially liked the quote of the champion boxer.
I'm REALLY trying to figure myself out; how to be more productive, disciplined, figure out what I enjoy and want to pursue, figure out methods that work for me, etc.
So I end up watching videos like this, even more recent ones, and I constantly hear, "Do/think this and don't do/think that". Great. Thanks. I understand WHY I need to change things, hence my being here in the first place, but I just really don't have a clue HOW to change things.
The advice is always broad and general from a practical sense and I just can't work with that at all.
It's been super frustrating and problematic for some time now. Hopefully I'll get there eventually.
We fortunate few who love problem solving, math, and excel spreadsheets, right? Getting paid to tackle fun problems and write up your solutions is like a dream to me.
The content and timing of this video were excellent for me! I have two big exams in late October spanning basically everything we've learnt in physiology, anatomy and histology from december until right before the exams. My motivation has been very unstable the last 6 months, and now with summer holidays and also having to work to sustain myself economically, I was starting to see how I'd fail to put in the required effort to pass. After having watched this and some of your other videos I believe I can enjoy catching up this summer, and have more than adequate time to do so.
Loving the process is something I've noticed lately. I love doing art, but sometimes I'm only motivated by the end result so it's hard to motivate me. I've recently taken up roller skating- and I love the process! Sure, it feels good as I get better, but I enjoy learning and the process of doing it, not just the results!
I have been watching youtube videos from 7 years and this is the first one that has compelled me to comment.
I am 24 and currently doing my masters and nothing has resonated with me and what I have learnt about life in 24 years more than this video and channel overall.
I just wanted to appreciate the efforts of the creator.GOOD JOB man!
thank you so much !!!
I was building a wall mounted pc then I felt bored and unmotivated at 80% of the end. but regarding all the wonderful details I've constructed in the prototype make me feel good again!
thank you so much, I owe you something.
thank you ❤ people told me to go to med school you have to be passionate about it so that you can carry on during low days but this just proved them wrong. 'commit to the process '✌
When we evaluate our process and find no Growth that's really depressing and find to know about the best process for the goal when we realised that this is the best process for my goal you'll definitely enjoying it.
I just want you to know that I make it a point to watch one video of yours every single day. You do not know me but I consider you one of my mentors. I really hope to meet you one day.
I wanted to be a singer at age 6 and I am currently majoring in jazz vocals ( I've been studying music full time since I was 15 ) some days I love music and some days I hate it, but you can enjoy the process AND follow your passion ...
This is what my gut feeling was whenever I read or heard stuff like "follow your passion" on various forms of media, but never could put my finger to what exactly it meant. Your video explained it on point. Thanks for sharing
this is your first video I am watching.. what is said is absolutely gold makes total sense.. we are always misled with this passion things now a days
"living life for the end game the end goal teaches us that any step along the path is a reminder that we are not there yet... if you put all your focus on the end results while ignoring the process you'll never be fulfilled be..." Practice the process.
Thank you so much for this video. I always wanted be a doctor and that was my passion but after going to med school I gradually got weary of everything. And when I hear people say follow your passion i was so lost cz i didnt know what my passion was anymore since this is what i liked but im not enjoying it now. This video talked to me. Thank you again !
"Living life for the end goal teaches us that any step along the way is a reminder that we are not there yet and we start to feel like a failure"
This video is so true. I started a side business around my hobby which took off. Now my hobby isn't fun anymore and it's no longer relaxing. I still enjoy it but now my hobby feels like work :P
I absolutely resonate with your point. I try to tell my friends to focus on the progress because that's what makes you, you. Not the moment of "I made it ".
I appreciate your intellect. we need more people with deep wisdom to share what they know and the things they've learned. especially those who've established themselves
You actually changed my mind, I used to love the process when I was a kid, but somewhere along the way my mind and point of view just completly tumbled. Thanks for reminding me this, keep it up
In all honesty, when I am feeling drained from university and I'm in need of motivation I always watch your videos. They keep me going and I always finish the video with a much better mindset. I'll make this short and sweet. You're a life saver!
For certain things, not having an end goal is probably the best way to look at it. About eight months ago I started to take my health and fitness more seriously and I've been exercising consistently and controlling my diet a lot better than I had been. I have a short term goal of losing five to ten more pounds to try to flatten out my stomach but I consider this a permanent lifestyle change, no end point, just being better than I was for the rest of my life.
So so true!
The way you explained this concept was so amazing. Residency starts this July, I feel more confident now. Thank you so much!
Med School Insiders i'll be going for cardiology (non invasive)
Eh...
I followed my childhood dreams and passion. That was to be a jockey and it was the best decision of my life. Passion was the biggest factor to success in this career path.
I also happen to be a self taught artist ever since I could pick up a pencil which also turned into a side hustle - the side hustle alone earning me well into the 5 figures in a year..
Last portion touched me to core . As long as i can remember i have been questioning myself, what is happiness, where is happiness. All our life we run towards the end (that salary, that car ,that relationship so on and so forth Just to meet end(death) . i finally get the answer the process gives you happiness
👏🏾🙌🏾 great video! I focused way to much on the ending I was forgetting to enjoy the right now. Switched my train of thought and started achieving more!
Great video! Keep this up, man. I recently heard a TED talk quote "Stop following your passion, rather, you should take your passion with you wherever you go."
SO glad to have found your channel as I go into my first year of college. Your videos are inspiring and motivating and actually make me feel like I can realistically get through this.
Hey Jay! I am so happy to see how much your channel has grown in just a few short months. I have loved your videos from the very beginning - you always deliver great content and quality. I would love to see a video on taking a gap year before medical school in the near future.
I'm glad that I clicked on this video because it changed my perspective on passion and knowing what to do in the future. I still have times where I regretted changing degrees but this video made it go away.
Thank you for making this video dude :D!
Thanks so much for this video. As a Career Study teacher, I was going crazy with "follow your passion" mantra. You explained the problems so well. I'll show it to my students tomorrow!
Love love love. I’m 25 years old and am starting school this Spring with PreVet in mind. I didn’t start school straight away because I did not have a clear goal in mind. However with some self reflection, research, and a dream I decided to take the first steps. Your videos are an absolute treat to watch. Thank you!
Iam in fourth grade of medical university i was so in need to this video thank you so much allah bless you
I think what Confucius meant was "Choose to be a philosopher and you'll never work a day in your life."
I'm an illustrator/animator which was my dream, and it is F'ing WORK. Love it, as I do.
Love your channel man... I am studying medicine and although i love the fact that im going to become a doctor, having to study several hours a day makes me wanna quit from all these. Watching your inspirational videos right now make me wanna change this and enjoy the process a lot more. Thanks again, you are my life hero!
Very timely motivation!
My ielts exam is approaching and I feel like I can't make the speaking test based on my practices. But then after watching your video,I learned that I must enjoy and learn to love my baby steps of improvement not necessarily to be perfect in a snap. Thank you!
Can you do a video about that first job out of college, what job to take, how to negotiate salary?
ajk1234 I second that.
I third that!
or
I minute that!
ajk1234 employer: what did you expect to get has salary
me: a 100 000$ salary
employer : get out
My PASSION is in MATHS. But my professionally doctor. I SHOULD FIND PASSION HERE.
Just found you on UA-cam. Love this video and others that I have been watching today. What great lessons I learned today from you. Can see you will be an awesome doctor because through these videos I can see that you will have wonderful bedside manners with your patients. You speak in a way that isn't confusing and you are down to earth so patients will appreciate your mannerisms. Best wishes. Thanks for the info!
you forget ONE important thing. Passion is a tool to achieve AMBITION. If you have your AMBITION then you can do ANYTHING with PASSION. Do not follow your PASSION but FOLLOW YOUR AMBITION! #StayHungryNeverSettle
Emre Yüksel Excellent!
Emre Yüksel Such wise words, thank you! :D I'm not sure if my native language has separate words for them, so I rarely think about them separately, but I understand that they are different. Ambition is what you want to achiece in your life, passion is what you love doing. Ambition gives your struggles a meaning, passion helps you through them. Something like that.
This is a piece of work! I'd like to show this to my Piano Students - not for med students LOL - because this is absolutely right for piano growth as a musician or any other professional.
I've struggled years, thinking only about my end goals. I knew it would take time and all, but I was always thinking too far ahead. Always thinking, Wait till I make them all laugh, wait till I look like a model, wait till I succeed. You have really opened my eyes with this video. Thank you so much, MSI. Your channel deserves a lot more attention. I wish I could do more besides subscribe and like
I'm currently learning to get into medical school. Unfortunately I had a down for 1 week, now I will continue with the grind and try to fall in love with it! Thank you for the motivation!
I don't know about most people, but following my passion seems very viable. I loved doing this certain thing since I was a young child, both my brother and I. now, finishing college, I saw a gap in a market about my passion. a viable market where the potential business stands to make tens of millions at the end of the first business year. I also have the talent in this passion as iv'e been do I t consistently since i was a kid. following your passion as a career choice isn't always a bad idea if you put in the work.
This is the best channel i've ever stumbled across.
Discipline is often fuelled by anger and frustration. Knowing what you don’t want and which experiences you wish to avoid (when properly channeled) fuels progress (even more so than “chasing your dreams”). I’m not saying you should always be frustrated, but lofty ideals and big-talk is not enough to drive you through the bullshit that stands between you and what you want. Sometimes the situations that cause anger, frustration and humiliation are glaring signals about what we need to change in our lives. I would wager that many people who appear committed to the process have these feelings and their higher ideals in alignment.
Thank you dude, you have really open my eyes. Thanks for making this videos.
Wow... this is thought provocative... I'm going to have to meditate on this; but I feel empowered for having watched this. Thank you for taking the time and care. Respect.
Inspirational beyond words. Keep doing your thing man
Thank you so much for your videos. I am a Family Practice Physician Assistant. I have been at it for over 30 years and find your videos very useful and encouraging.
I was in a really bad spot today about life just overthinking things and deciding whether or not different careers in medicine is right for me, but this video really helped me forget about deciding that completely as an undergrad and helped me realize that I should focus on the process first of learning things and going through different experiences I have right now to learn more, so thank you :) this really helped!
I am blessed to find this channel. Senior year in high school I had trouble self motivating myself, I graduated with luck.
Ahh...I think I get it. Sometimes I don't enjoy baking, esp presenting, but I do enjoy mixing the ingredients and waiting for the smell out of the oven and even cleaning the dishes. Yet, if anyone asks me I deny liking it all. I like it in the small parts, but as a whole it's too big. like suddenly trying to run a marathon. I've been hesitant about a job bc I think of it as a marathon instead of the everyday, but I love all the pieces of the job. 😭😭😭 thank u, I feel better.
