I may not end up working in a field anywhere close to those three above things, but they'll still always be my passions and remain a huge part of my life. Ideally, I'd love to apply my business knowledge to any one of those passions, but in reality who the hell knows where I'll be in 5 or 10 years. I'm currently in college pursuing a degree in business (finance), but feel as lost as anyone in their 20's. Am I 'doomed' if I'm not a professional guitarist, or drummer, or personal fitness trainer? Is it okay to just 'enjoy' my job (which does not involve my passions), actively pursue my passions on the side, and still have this attractive lifestyle? I'm 25, and I have three passions: guitar/drums, meditation/spirituality, and working out/bodybuilding. This is the part I don't understand, I haven't even allowed myself to continue on to the rest of the book because some of the concepts in this section give me pause. The implication seems to be that if you're not actively pursuing your passion(s) as your source of income, then your lifestyle is not attractive. I wish I hadn't missed the Mark Manson AMA, because I really want to know more about what he means by this.Īn excerpt from this section says: 'If your true passion is art, and you push paper around at an insurance firm, then you're not living honestly' Anyone who's read it knows the first of the 'Three Fundamentals' is an 'attractive and honest lifestyle'. I've reached a part in the book I'm a little hung up on though. I've been reading 'Models' by Mark Manson, and so far it's the best book on dating I've ever read.
