Be Passionate About What You Do

When you’re obsessed with your craft—whether that’s coding at 2 AM, writing your fifth draft, or sketching ideas on napkins—people will question why you care so much, why you’re putting in those hours, why you can’t just be “normal” about it.

Let them wonder. Because the people who matter won’t see crazy—they’ll see themselves. They’ll recognize the fire, the refusal to settle for mediocre, the inability to stop thinking about the thing they love. They’ll see you and think, “Same.”

This is how you find your people. Not by toning down your passion or apologizing for your intensity, but by letting it shine so brightly that it becomes impossible to miss. Your enthusiasm is a light.

Don’t dim your fire to make others comfortable. The line between crazy and genius has always been thin, and it’s usually drawn by people watching from the sidelines. Your people aren’t on the sidelines. They’re right there in there with you, just as obsessed, just as committed, ready to build something extraordinary.
