It is the very soul of our sense of self worth. Responsibility, sacrifice, struggle, and whining hurt passion, each in their own way. They are horrible reasons to move yourself forward. There's a very good chance if you are motivated by a sense of responsibility, sacrifice and struggle that you will grow to blame the object of your passion as an excuse for it's not happening, or for your pain, frustration, or disappointment. Passion is not a final product, like world peace.
Passion is the name of the process.
This confusion is one reason so many people quit passion, or never even join on to a Big Dream. They quit because achieving the final product is too slow. Certainly the single tragedy in Gesundheit's work is the loss of great people because it's taken so long to get out our final product. Invite co-travelers, unless you are clearly hermetic. Co-travelers are the juice.
