Love this philosophy! I have so many passions and ambitions, but they all revolve around creative community building, so I'm finding ways to integrate them so that i can forever toggle between each one

Thank you very much for this video! I too was burdened in my 20s about not living up to my younger self’s expectations. Having lived through that and gotten better at accepting myself in my 30s, I want to focus on the “doing” of my passions, and let that take care of the rest. The looking back and writing a sentence for each year lived is also a wonderful idea!

This resonates greatly, thanks.

A lot of what he said about passion, for me, relates to what he said in the other video about purpose(s). My passions are very much about the themes of my creative work, but it's difficult for me to differentiate between the two concepts. Could be because I'm younger and have a different amount of experience to what he has. Or maybe just a different outlook? The scope of his self-exploration exercise sounds like quite a good idea and starting early may also be good to allow for going back to what was written and reviewing it with a different mindset/perspective. This is something I find very useful about my artwork, physical art in particular, because it's very rare I have the same thoughts about the same piece, years later and feels important in "auto-biographical" reflection of the past. I think your (interviewer) question about uncovering things was a very helpful thought here. The context is different, but when Carl Jung discussed some of his techniques on self-exploration, he gave a similar kind of advice as John Vorhaus does here. To Jung, exploring the unconscious was not a plaything, and he would caution that we may find non-conscious contents which we may not be prepared to deal with, or may be challenging for us to deal with alone; this may be more true if we have trauma or have never approached self-exploration before. So if we choose to do it, in those cases it can be helpful to not do it in a complete vacuum (i.e., external guidance/grounding may be helpful).

Substitute “dream” for “passion”, then I guess I have plenty
