About This Quote

It's pretty common for people to be motivated by their passions. However, the problem with passion is that it leads to reckless abandon. When passion leads you down a path that is bad for you, or leads to trouble for other people, then your passion is the enemy. Passion has the power to change your life, but it never should take control of you.

Grown-ups are another story. They use their heads. They understand that while passion can be fun, it can also be destructive.

They know that there are consequences to everything they do. By taking these steps, they get to grow up and enjoy life without the fear of consequences.
