Are you passionate about what you do?

“Are you passionate about what you do?” I was asked.
Honestly? It’s one of those questions I have always struggled to answer.
A million thoughts ran through my mind.
Who can be passionate about what they do 24/7?
Define “passionate”.
Is it the kind that lights you up every morning?
Or maybe it’s quieter – the kind of drive that shows up and does the work, even when the tank isn’t full.
I care about mastery and being good at what I choose to do. About clarity, depth, and not cutting corners.
Even when I’m running low, I still care – sometimes more than most.
Is that passion? Maybe not in the usual sense.
In a world that’s long glorified “follow your passion,” maybe it’s time we value commitment, depth, and consistency just as much.
