Follow your passion rarely lasts.
Never give up doesn’t apply to everything.
You can be anything you want as long as you believe/work hard enough is simply false.

The truth is
Passion is a great starter, but success is what keeps us going.
There are some things we should give up, fast. Dysfunctional relationships, Negative people, Insecurities.
Our genetics, geography, family affluence are greater predictors of where we end up - not everyone can become a Roger Federer or Lebron James just because we want to.

Too confronting?
Truth is a much stronger foundation to build meaningful lives on.
