About this quote
Passion often looks like pure chaos to an outsider. When you fall headfirst into a new creative project or an intense relationship, your choices might seem totally irrational. Yet, is there a hidden method to your wild behavior? The intense feelings that drive us to act crazy usually stem from a very logical, deep-seated human need for connection or growth. You must learn to accept the wild swings of your feelings without losing your grip on reality.
When to use it
- You decide to quit your stable corporate job to start a boutique bakery because baking is the only thing that makes you feel alive. Your parents think you lost your mind, but you know your budget and your market.
- You forgive your sibling after a massive, years-long argument and invite them to Thanksgiving. Your friends say you are being naive, but you prioritize family peace over holding a grudge.
- You sign up for a grueling 100-mile ultramarathon even though you can barely run a 10k right now. It looks like self-punishment, but you need a massive physical goal to pull yourself out of a deep mental rut.
