Over time, you may cross a threshold or enter a new level of ability and suddenly you have Progress. Once you have progress you might get more encouragement. This is where the “passion” begins, as your interest and efforts and emotional investment begin to deepen.

If you don’t have progress, or the hobby is one without progress, that’s okay, you can keep doing what you’re doing and your interest may deepen anyways. However I find that a sense of progress + encouragement from others are great motivators for deepening engagement.

It’s also ok to not deepen engagement and stay in light hobby zone. Hobbies are cool. But if you want to find something that drives you, I do think there’s an argument for moving on / continually trying out different things until you find one that sticks.

Over more time, you may suddenly find that you are much better than the average person at this thing, and you like to travel for this thing, and you have a community around it, and you are engaged and invested and ~passionate~ about something that began as a mere curiosity.
