Do you love what you do?



Do you love what you do? Is it still what you want to be doing the rest of your life? At this point in my life, I’m trying to decide what I want to major in while in college. This is hard because I don’t know what I want to do every day for the rest of my life. I want to enjoy whatever I’m doing.
"When people love what they do, they are happier and more successful. They work longer hours, make more friends at work, spend most of their time thinking about how to do things better and talk to everyone about what they do, which provides them with lots of diverse ideas on how to do their job even better. Their job becomes intertwined in their life rather than separate from it, and they excel because of it." Ray White said.

This above quote came from the following article:

http://msn.careerbuilder.com/article/msn-16-flexwork-freelance-and-pt-how-to-love-the-work-you-do/?catid=WL&SiteId=cbmsn416&sc_extcmp=JS_16_advice

That quote by Ray White really makes you think about what you want to do. It’s also basic psychology. If you love something and have a positive attitude about it you will have the desire to put in more effort and therefore you will be more successful.

Success comes from your desire and your drive to do something. If you don’t have any force behind your actions you will never be successful.

Loving your job will translate to a more successful and happy life. But, according to the article you don’t have to be completely passionate about your job in order to be successful.

This is also discussed in the article. The article states that if you love what your job benefits you to do you will be more successful, as well. For example if you love what the pay enables you to do you will be more successful.

If you don’t have any passion the article suggests you find something you’re passionate about and translate that into your job. This could have to something to do with the money you earn from your job.

If you have five or less minutes in your day today, or tomorrow or any day this week, take time to read this article and think about what you can do to make you love a small part of your job. It was worth it for me and it could make a world of difference to you or someone you know too.
