Do what you LOVE!
With all the news and talk of this global economic crisis that’s happening around the world, it’s fair to say that a lot of people are feeling a little nervous.
Many people are definitely feeling the pinch with the purse strings well and truly tightening.
But during this period of hardship, many people are feeling dissatisfied with their current jobs and careers.
Many people just aren’t LOVING what they do!
And it’s making them miserable!
Typically, people spend five days a week at work and if you can’t stand your job, it’s hard to say the least! Five out of seven days a week – that’s quite a lot of your life!
And consider the fact that most of us start working fulltime around the age of twenty and retire at sixty-five. That means we work forty-five years!
So if most people don’t like what they do, and they spend about forty-five years of their life working…doesn’t that sound like a situation in need of desperate change?
It certainly does for many people today who aren’t just facing dissatisfaction in the workplace…but also the very real issue of not having enough money to cover basic costs.
Living pay check to pay check, combined with the job dissatisfaction really is a recipe for depression and burnout.
But there IS something you can do about it!
You have to break that old belief system many people have. The one that says the business of making money is a hard one that isn’t enjoyable at all.
People believe that you have to slave away in a job you hate, just to make ends meet.
Now, I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like much of a life to me. Particularly if you’re finding it very hard to make ends meet – or worse – you’re unable to make them meet at all.
My advice to everybody I deal with who is battling with workplace dissatisfaction is this: Determine what you really, really love to do!
• What makes you happy?
• What do you wish you could do and make money doing?
• If you could make money in any way, how would you make money?
• What wouldn’t feel like work to you at all?
By LOVING what we do, we enhance our life!
Marsha Sinetar who wrote the famous book, “To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work You Love: The Spiritual Dimension of Entrepreneuring” said:
“Expressing your enthusiasm can add years of creative life to your time on earth.”
And how true that is! By loving what you do for a living, work no longer feels like work. Instead it feels like the life you LOVE!
And to get paid for it at the same time…wow!
Determine what you really love doing and then start creatively brainstorming over ways you can combine that which you love with income generation.
Start writing it all down NOW!
