what we were never told was that loving someone deeply is a series of choices made over and over again, not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s not
The problem of staying in the multi-passionate stage
The multi-passionate stage alone does not naturally take someone towards mastery, and at some point restricts the possibility of it.
This is because the multi-passionate stage allows someone to follow all curious things and the focus is on the nurturance of the inner world. This is important but... See more

The multi-passionate stage focuses on nurturing the internal world of the self by being curious whereas the multi-disciplinary stage focuses on increasing the quality of the work created by selecting and deepening particular disciplines.
Multi passionate as Stage one and Multi disziplinär as Stage 2
It’s in this stage that decisions must be made.
Passions must be selected, skills must be perfected and virtues like humility must be lived through so as to become ships that can cross us over the waters of momentary hardship and into new terrain. If we are to experience Aristotle's entelechy—meaning the possible becoming actual—then we realise that we must sacrifice what we could be in exchange for what we are.
