I spent most of my 20s chasing passion and wondering why nothing stuck. Four jobs in six years. Every time I'd pick something that sounded exciting and then lose interest within a year. I genuinely thought something was wrong with me.

Then I came across this post and it reframed everything for me. The core idea: stop following your passion. Follow your skills. When you work at your peak skill level, you're respected, you perform well, and you actually enjoy it because of those things. Passion doesn't create success. Competence does. And competence comes from understanding your actual strengths, not chasing what sounds exciting.

Sharing this for anyone stuck similar situation. The answer might not be passion at all.
