A short motivational video by James Laughlin distinguishing two related but different concepts: passion (activities that personally energize and engage you) versus purpose (using skills and capacities to benefit others and the planet). The speaker frames passion as inward-facing and done for love, while purpose is outward-facing and about applying abilities for the betterment of people and planet.
To me, there's two things in life, two Ps. That's passion and purpose. And look, passion to me is stuff that fires you up, things that deeply engage you, things that you're excited and motivated to do. And you do them because you love them. So to me, passion is for you. Whereas on the other side, purpose. Purpose is where we use our skills. Could be manual labor. Could be our intellect. Could be our genius. Could be what we do professionally, could be what we do outside of work. But we use these skill sets, mindsets, heart sets, for the betterment of others, people and planet.
