Where Passion Comes From | Simon Sinek

Passion is an output of vision. When we feel that our efforts are contributing to a greater purpose, we feel passionate. But we're not all visionaries - so when we find a vision that resonates with us, our responsibility is to contribute our individual gifts to help bring that vision to life.
+ +
Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.
Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

I found my vision by looking at what bothered me deeply and affected others as well. Then, I turned that into something I want solve as a problem: "imagine if we didn't have to experience that"

[@leroymntungwa4227]

Absolutely relate to that

[@WeConnectHumans]

@luca de vitis you say it at all

[@gwho]

I did that and they're only things that you have the least control over, and need top down control. making better standards (e.g. even consistent calendar. better coding, better processes that reduce knowledge waste, etc).

[@TylerLloyd]

I love that you say that most people aren't visionaries and that it is ok! I always felt envious in school of those who knew exactly what they wanted to do, who had a very defined mission. I, on the other hand, love learning, the process of building, and I find myself energized by the passions of others. So, rather than trying to find my own vision, I want to help others achieve theirs. I like to say that: "I'm passionate about passionate people."

[@TheCanonApologist]

And it's people like you that we need. :') Seriously, without people like you our visions never fruit.

[@ernestoaguilarmeza]

My respect for you, Simon... You personalize PASSION!!

[@R.videocassette]

I work in a hospital as pharmacist...what i have saw is a hospital are becoming hotels. People want hotels like facilities in hospital which hospital provides but ultimately it increases the cost of treatment for middle or lower class of people. Later ones need only treatment from good doctors but can't afford it because of this worthless facilities. I hope 1 day i can make a hospital where treatment is of utmost importance.

Im still at 1:08 but that 1 min. was enough to make me realize and understand the movie "passion of the christ"(Im not being religious or spiritual) but that movie didnt make me understand the title(that I saw when I was 15. Im 33 now) until i saw this video thank you

[@GeekPsychology]

I definitely have noticed in my life that passion has come from doing and creating something that I care about - which has built upon itself and improved the clarity of my vision. And without kindling the initial inspiration through action, it would’ve been smothered by the stresses of a routine life.

[@heylowhei]

I literally just ask this very question to a close friend 5 minutes ago. Then I open youtube and this video was recommended on top. Scary, but thankful that I found my answer

I may add, I was pushing my kids to get a vision … 😢 What a big mistake 😢 It’s a real relief… I can let go that pressure on themselves and also on myself … I felt guilty they don’t have one yet Felt so guilty I wasn’t able to share with them , to « implement » in them to get a vision Thank you so much

[@vickeygoyal7582]

You have always added to my confidence and guided me through difficult situations in life.

I dream of seeing you in person some day.

[@thevisionguy9832]

Interesting discussion. Our belief is that there are three elements to what we call the Success Trifecta - Mission Vision Passion. A frequent question I am asked is which (of the three elements) comes first? And do we need all three to get started or make something happen? These are very good questions. Our study suggests that people certainly need at least one of the three but there is no priority order. Some people start with a cause, purpose or why - a clear mission. Others love something so much that it is their passion and that is their motivation to put it to good use. And others start from a clear picture of how they see the future - their vision - and then as Simon suggests in this video build their passion mission and people around that. Where you start is not important other than having a clear Mission or Vision or Passion and then use that element as the fuel to get started. In our experience, the other elements will follow as you get moving. When you get all three, you start to see an alignment develop and a real aligned DNA (culture) of that organisation will show.

[@annihilationHaven]

Passion comes from taking lots of SOLO TIME to do the reflection and independent thinking required to come up with new and interesting ideas. If you don't make solo time, you're never going to get that far. Before personal transportation became facilitated during the 20th century just about everyone had loads of solo time and mostly everyone was capable of doing so much more than they can today. You didn't even need to talk about finding motivation, it was already part of the culture. I can't believe he doesn't realize this.

[@mirayadingabay5520]

When your belief is so strong it takes it to another level that I can't explain like a powerful, magical thing is happening. Simon thank you for your words. always love to help the underrated weak unseen unappreciated old sick lonely poor etc.

[@navigator_naush]

Your words resonate a robust feeling to do whatever one can for his or her passion. Thank you Mr. Sinek.

[@harshhingu3082]

That's what is his vision 😀

[@MonaMarMag]

Answer to that question is really very simple - passion comes from the heart .

[@drummermomcjs]

I agree with you about the best leaders. Best leaders have the ability to inculcate their vision such that others embrace it and pursue it as their own.

Gifts are for giving. In Latin it’s called a donum and the verb it comes from, donare, means to give (and where we get donation from). Pretty important concept. You’re passionate about what your giving; you stress about what you’re losing.

[@rossypossy82]

Simon, I am the person you are talking about. 30 years old, with no passion, but trying to find something to hold onto. I am so that friend who holds onto to ' friends' because I see the good in them and the potential. If that is somehow a gift, I have no idea where in this world or how to apply that in this world.

[@Bedaywee]

Thank you, for this piece of advice you just put there. From my point of view, I am passionate in making a certain for years but in amateur way. That passion throughout the years faded and there are like some of the pieces I still got in me. I have other things beside my hobby that I want to do, but their to many of them. So, I had this horrible stress feeling like I’m in the unknown zone where I feel lost. When you talked about looking for a vision and see what sparks me to be passionate in. That changed my way of viewing things, which I need to look and find truly what I am passionate about.
