Are you a multi-passionate person?

It often begins with doing many different, unrelated things and hearing criticism for not focusing on just one.

If you feel disconnected when others talk about the one path they’ve chosen, or if the idea of committing to a single niche sounds painfully boring to you, then it’s very likely: you are multi-passionate.

Wearing multiple hats doesn’t drain you it energizes you. It gives you a sense of fulfillment, excitement and momentum. 

A multi-passionate (or multipotentialite) person often struggles to answer questions like, “What do you want to be in the future?” or “Which career are you choosing?”

It’s not indecision. You simply have many passions, interests and talents you genuinely care about, and choosing just one feels like shrinking yourself when you know you are built for more.

You have superpowers

You’re naturally good at seeing the full picture. You don’t think in pieces, you think in systems. You connect dots faster than most people even see them. You also learn new skills quickly and, more importantly, you know how to use them in completely different areas when needed. That’s what makes you great at transferring knowledge, mixing ideas, and creating new solutions where others only see limits.

If specialists are focused on mastering one corner of a world, you’re busy building bridges between multiple worlds. If they’re mad scientists, you’re the mad creative.

And no this doesn’t mean you lack logic, structure, or analytical thinking. You have all of that too. You understand complex processes, you can break them down, you can rebuild them. The difference is that you don’t stop there. Once you understand how something works, your brain immediately moves to the next question: How can this connect to something else? How can this be used in a bigger way?

Your interest is not to become the best at one thing.
Your interest is to understand many things and use them to create something smarter, better, and more meaningful.
