Passionate people adapt. Much like the BUD/S student who adapts to the environment of SEAL training in order to pursue his purpose, passionate people are willing to fit the mold—any mold—if it means fueling his or her personal fire. They understand that it is possible to fit a square peg in a round hole by hammering it over and over until it fits, but they know the end state won’t look pretty. Instead, passion drives creativity such that the artist realizes he can chip away at the preexisting peg until it’s ready to fit.
