Oh how many of us often get lost in this one! I love the saying, "If you are passionate about what you do in life for work/career, you will never work a day in your life." Have you found yourself in a job or career that is just mediocre, not really what you want to do but outside influences convinced you it was a good choice? Maybe it is just the lot that was given to you in life or the cards you've been dealt and you've just accepted that.
Well... I am hear as one to challenge those circumstances and thoughts and it begins with asking the question, "If nothing stood in the way, what would I REALLY choose to do for work/career?" Write down the first thing that comes to your mind - go ahead - I dare you! Think about the answer, meditate on it, if you are a praying person - pray about it. The next question to ask is, "Am I doing that and if not, why?"
There is a reason that "passion" exists within you. I believe it has to do with your God-Given purpose to live out in this world. Speaking from experience, when I have settled for mediocrity because it pays the bills or was the easy choice, I have found myself miserable and it didn't help the people around me either as that attitude was brought with me everywhere. Mark Cuban said, "It's better to be tired than broke." I would like to restate that saying, "Its better to be tired knowing you are working toward living out your true purpose."
