When our cause is young, we feel so intensely that it seems wrong to take it slow. This is our inability to see that burning ourselves out isn't going to hurry the journey along. The critical work that you want to do will require your deliberation and consideration. Not passion. Not naïveté.
It'd be far better if you were intimidated by what lies ahead - humbled by its magnitude and determined to see it through. Leave passion for the amateurs. Make it about what you feel you *must* do or say, not what you care about and wish to be. Then you will do great things. Then you will stop being your old, good-intentioned, but ineffective self.
