Passion or love doesn't have to be part of the work/job equation
Passion can kill and we can become petulant children, knowing the stove element is hot but reaching for it anyway, even though our other hand is bandaged.
Passion about work leads us to forsake other aspects of our lives like interacting with other people or having things like hobbies and free-time.
I like treating work as work and leaving passion out of it. Success in our work may not actually be about finding and following our true purpose.
