People don’t “discover” a passion — they “develop” it, according to psychologist Angela Lee Duckworth. And although passions don’t appear overnight, there are some tricks to help you pick a new one or build on existing skills. See your passion as an internship, for example. Put your phone away to cut down on distractions. People should also try to stay motivated and be patient while developing their new skills.

An especially compelling thought on how to not burn out when follwing your passion: “It sounds paradoxical that when you’re exhausted, you should use your energy to help another person,” says Duckworth. “But we’re wired to help each other.
