Cal Newport argues that passion for one's work comes from developing expertise and autonomy over time, rather than finding one's "true calling". He advocates becoming extremely skilled at your craft through deliberate practice to gain competence and feel motivated. Additionally, connecting with others and having some control over your work provides autonomy which leads to intrinsic motivation. Rather than constantly questioning your career path, focus on improving your skills and delivering high quality work, as mastery will help you learn to love your job. Don't trade the autonomy you've gained for a promotion or raise if it means losing control.
