Jordan Carroll compares finding passion to test-taking: you eliminate wrong answers through action, not thought. Staying in your head creates a feedback vacuum. You have to try things, even if they feel wrong, to discover what actually resonates.

I kind of view life first and foremost. I don't know if you remember taking tests in grade school, but, uh, they often said process of elimination is the way to, to, uh, to do well on a test. You basically eliminate the things that, you know, are not the right experience or, or the thing for you, uh, the answer. Right. So what I do is apply that to life. It's like, okay, well, I need to do a bunch of shit. In life. Because if I just sit in this bubble where everything that is a reference to me is just my thoughts, I'll never truly know what those feedback loops will be when I take action. So as you mentioned, you only find your passion when you take action and it can be directed action even in the wrong place. Right.
