Passion and drive are not the same at all. Passion pulls you toward something you cannot resist. Drive pushes you toward something you feel compelled or obligated to do. If you know nothing about yourself, you can't tell the difference. Once you gain a modicum of self-knowledge, you can express your passion..... It's not about jumping through someone else's hoops. That's drive. Randy Komisar
About This Quote

Many people think that they are passionate when in fact they are driven. Passion is something that you feel. You cannot see it, hear it or touch it, but you know it's there. Drive is something that you do. You can see it, hear it and touch it, but you may not even realize that you are doing it.
