"Find your passion!" When discussing future career options or selecting a major in college, your parents often say this. The very expression is meant to inspire. But is it good advice?
"Finding" a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us.
To study this, researchers use a framework of "fixed" and "growth" mindsets. They argue that encouraging people to "find" their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable. In contrast, people who view interests and passions as developed have a growth mindset of interest.
Researchers have revealed that a fixed mindset of interest can decrease creativity. If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains.
Evidently, people can do a lot to embrace a growth mindset of interest. First, realize that your interests and passions aren't pre-existing. Take an active role in developing your passions. Second, practise positive self-talk. When you lack interest in a new task, pay attention to your inner dialogue. For example, change "I'm not interested in this" to "I'm not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement."
But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result.

C. People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest.
D. Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion.
E. As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential.
F. Don't expect that pursuing new interests will always be easy or exciting.
G. Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning. 决胜
