Passionate people are guided by their passions. Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Computers, started a computer business in his dorm at college. The business became so successful that it consumed his time, and he had no choice but to drop out of college to pursue it.

If you read stories and autobiographies about successful entrepreneurs, they all found their passion through hard work and dedication. The hard work is where the passionate decisions come from. The passion is organic.

In your case, you are trying to pass off your decisions of quitting a job after one day or dropping out of school as passionate. The thinking is backwards. Many of the people who gave a reply and your friend that you mention are seeing right through this charade. The passion is artificial, masking your laziness.

If I am right, you took one look at an obstacle - job and school - and gave up. The same thing will happen with mixed martial arts, affiliate marketing, relationships and everything else in your life. When you find out that X is too much work, you will quit and follow your 'passion' Y.

Go back to school and get a job. When you have free time, find your passion.
