Love What You Do, Or Do Something New
As 2015 brings new opportunity and potential, we need to seize what is in front of us. What is the point of bringing home a paycheck if it doesn't represent joy, hard work, pride, and what you love? Entrepreneurs speak of their "ah ha" moment, which is when they realize a gap in the market and how they will fill it with their product or service. This moment must be a dream for them. However, many individuals young and old don't have these similar feelings because they are so dedicated to doing what is expected.
As the economy is thriving in the United States, now is one of the greatest opportunities to make a career transformation. Don't get me wrong. I don't advocate quitting your job until you find the opportunity of your life. Or perhaps, you have the financial fortitude to create it for yourself.
I find myself with my close friends week after week, and all they can talk about is the same thing; How much they hate their job!!! I want to yell 2 things at them. 1, they are lucky to be able to work and should stop complaining. Try to enjoy your circumstances whatever they may be. And, if their job is so horrible look for something else. Or, create something else. I do have one close friend who is very happy with his position. And, boy can I tell the difference. He is always volunteering for extra projects and his career is at the top of his mind. It's one thing I really admire about him.
There are many articles and blogs that go back and forth as to whether or not you should do what you love. Here is the argument that hard for me to refute. We spend most of our waking hours at work or commutting to work.
How can you enjoy this year, without doing what you love!
