"Passion comes from the latin word 'pati,' which means 'to suffer.' Your life's work is less about following a passion and more about your willingness to suffer along the way."

I found this to be an interesting way to think about things you are passionate about. Having a passion doesn't mean you enjoy every aspect of it. It means that the painful moments are "worth it" because you value the reward above the pain.
