Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks. ~Yo-Yo Ma
This quote sounds romantic and fantastical. I love passion, but as a 40-year-old mom of two and wife for over a decade, I know that the work gets done not from passion but from dedication. And when the work is done and it’s time to present it to the world, the risk-taking at that point is less about passion and more about desperation. We’ve spent days, months, or years, and the passion was left back in the beginning, back when it was written with pure excitement. That is gone. It’s now finished with blood, sweat, and tears, and not an ounce of passion remains.
Then again, maybe there’s an ounce that remains.
