They always say focus follows where attention goes and when that attention is scattered on so many different things focus dies.

We as human beings can’t be passionate about a lot of things or multiple things at the same time. That is no longer passion.

Passion is said to be something we hold dear to our hearts and put a lot of attention to because at the end of the day this is what makes me happy.

To find happiness in a lot of things and call them passion isn’t passion but a lack of discipline to stick to one thing and properly take care of that thing.

Some people live this way. Trying to be passionate in all things and all arenas but we know this desire is created because they haven’t found their real passion and have nothing to devote themselves to

We know passion is devotion and when it is found in a lot of things that devotion dies.

The ability to bring them to fruition dies because the attention is scattered and no focus gets things done.

The desire to do everything and claim to be passionate shows emptiness and until a person knows that there’s little they can be passionate about they will be resultless in their doings and activities

Everyone can end up having multiple passions but they will never lead to anything meaningful. As a human the attention and things you can focus on are limited.

We can only pour ourselves into things one at a time and we can only do our best one activity at a time. Being passionate about all things deprives us of that benefit and joy.
