Awesome advice, @cristof.

I'm definitely with you on the commitment part. Examining my own life in terms of passion vs. commitment, I can see where I kept failing continually due to a lack of commitment and too much focus on passion, especially where my creative projects were concerned. Luckily I have developed some focus and stick-to-it-iveness over the past few years and no longer suffer the same rate of failure. However, I also think it's easy to commit to the projects I choose because I'm passionate about them; in other words, because I enjoy them and they bring me some level of fulfillment. What do you think? Can passion and commitment be good playmates?

Probably, but passion is tinder. Starts fires, but can't keep them lit. Only good kindling and then big, solid logs can do that. That's commitment.
