The Passion - Work Puzzle

Passion or paycheck — do you really have to choose? 🌱 We unpack the messy truth behind “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” We’ll talk about why that quote can backfire, how passion actually grows in small, everyday moments, and what happens when the thing you love suddenly has KPIs and deadlines attached to it. You’ll reflect on what truly gives you energy, where your work and your passion overlap, and where it might be healthier to keep them apart so your creativity can breathe. If you’ve ever wondered whether your job should be your passion — or felt guilty that it isn’t, this one’s for you. www.schmied.be
