Really Hard question about Erin Brockovich

That is a hell of an unfair advantage, when you think of it. Erin Brockovich accidentally discovered her passion / purpose--same goes for most people who possess the unfair advantage you mentioned.
I have a passion, only I can't make it my purpose because I can't make money at it. I have another thing that I can make money at, and that I would even term my Purpose, but I wouldn't do it Unless I made money at it.
OK, it's now official: life is Unfair!!
Here's the Hard Question I mentioned in my subject heading; this is one that that Astrologer guy in the wheelchair might find difficult:
Do you think people should insist on their passion and their purpose being the same thing? Or is it enough to have a purpose, and then make course corrections (as you show in one of your pictograms) so as to find a way to develop passion for it at a later time?
(Definition: I'm defining Purpose as 'something one was born to do.')
best,
-Boyd
