I've thought about this for a bit and realized a few things about this interesting human feature. I'm talking about that innate trait that we have where we have so many ideas and interests and want to do them all at once.
1) We can't do EVERYTHING at once or over one lifetime. That would be just perfect. Perfection is not realistic nor is it attainable so forget about doing everything and start choosing one or two of your passions, at least.
2) Rather than focusing your attention on how you can turn your passion into a success story that everyone will recognize so that you can be praised and coined as someone who's unique and different, just execute on your passion simply for the sake of it. And besides, this whole phenomenon about making a mark on how you're 'being youself' by being unique is misleading because it steers you away from just doing things you love by focusing too much on the ego's fulfillment.
3) Think outside the box. Think of ways you can incorporate doing what you love with your current job. If you can't think of ideas, ask family, friends, co-workers and your boss. I've realized that no matter what you're doing as a 9-5, there are always ways to incorporate what you love with it. If not, then go to 4)
4) Find a flexible job that pays you enough to live but gives you enough time to pursue what you love on the side.
A few things to think about...any other suggestions?
Peace
