The missing to-do

I ran across a headline for a Harvard Business Review article that said something along the lines of “what to chase after if not passion”. Under the headline was a short blurb that serves as a hook for people to clink the link to the article. The blurb said something along the lines of “notice what remains untouched constantly on your to-do list.” This frightened me. I didn’t read the article yet, but I assume it’s going to say what you shouldn’t be do in the name of passion is what is left unchecked on the to-do list. It’s a very simple straightforward logic, but it’s also a terrifying one because it’s a wake up call. Maybe it’s going to force me to admit the unrealistic dreams I called passion. Maybe what I thought I wanted to do is something I should not really ever do. It’s scary to doubt something so meaningful to me, no matter how much of a big fat lie it might have been.

Let me see if the article is as scary as I think it is.
