"I tell people all the time...there is a difference between passion and obsession, and high-performers have an obsession about the topic. They are obsessed about the topic in which they are trying to learn, master, grow into...
Here's how you know the difference between the two: when you're passionate, everybody cheers you on; they're stoked for you. 'Oh you found your passion? Awesome! Follow your passion, live with passion, be passionate'
When you're obsessed, they're like 'why you gotta be so crazy?...Why can't you be satisfied? Why do you always gotta get things so perfect? Why do you spend so much time here?' When you're obsessed, people think you're NUTS
So it's different. I always tell people that if no one thinks you're crazy, you're not yet operating to the outer limits of your potential"
