    figure out what you love

I'm continually surprised by people's ability to actually do this. I've never loved doing something for more than about a week, if that, so the idea of having a passion like you describe seems like fiction. I know it happens to other people, but nothing in my own experience leads me to think anything like this is out there for me. Thus I'm left with coping/mitigating, neither of which are particularly satisfying ways to spend your time.
