How can you not?
It’s so often what happens, though. How many students you know who have poured time and effort into activities they clearly don’t love? There can be so many other factors that drive us to do things besides love, but there’s also the complicating factor that sometimes, we don’t know.
I have found two ways that reliably tell me whether I truly love doing something.
- Immersion – pouring myself into it, I find my love for something.
- Culmination – putting on an amazing concert is the moment many people realize how much they truly love music-making.
- Absence – take away, or have taken away, something, and you will discover your true feelings.
Knowing what you are passionate about is a prerequisite for following your passion. It might take time to figure out.
