Ray Dalio and Elliot Choy on How to Find Your Passions

I think some people, uh, just maybe earlier in their career or earlier in life, they haven't, they don't know necessarily what they like; maybe they haven't tried enough things or whatever it may be, and they're still kind of searching for that passion.

Do you have any advice for people that are still searching and trying to find that thing?

Yes, first, um, TR, look, there's two things: there's your cerebral, um, logical mind and then your subliminal emotional mind, and there's your nature.

Okay, both, all these things are at work. So first, know your nature. I put out, um, a... I created and put out a, uh, personality profile, uh, exercise called Principle You. It's free online, take it, take a look at it, know your nature, because if you have a sense of what is your nature, you, H, and that nature will give you really good ideas in terms of where you should go.

Like, there are certain careers or certain types of things that are more suitable for you that are naturally your nature. And also, it'll help you deal with others. So knowing, getting a sense of what is your nature, there's some people who are more left-brain, some that are more right-brained, and so on; you know that nature.

And then, um, you taste things and you find the pull, but you, at the same time, you want to do it. That pull is like an emotional subliminal thing that pulls you, and at the same time, you want to make sure that you intellectually align those things.

Like, you just don't want to go after the things that are going to give you your passion, um, if they don't give you, um, other things. I'm like, the principle: make your work and your passion the same thing.

And don't forget about the money part, because the money part—but you have to have your nature, your passion, your work. I mean, if you make those two things the same time, you're going to be good.

And if you can do it in an area that makes you money, so that money gives you freedom and safety and gives you those things, it's a good thing. You need to, if you align those things with your nature, you're going to do it.

So, it's that kind of a discovery process that you should have.
