Love what you do...

Me: I can't wait until tomorrow when I can put in a full day of work. 

My 17yr. old son: You can't wait?

Me: Yes. I love what I do and I want to get back to it.

My 17 yr. old son: Isn't that great that you love what you do?

Me: It is. It didn't happen by accident. My career choices have all been motivated by paying attention to what energizes me and what ignites my passion and compassion. 

My 17 yr. old son: MMM. I can't wait until I finish HS!

 

 

Can there be any other way than to love what you do? I am not naive. I know many of you don't. And I also know that no matter what you do... you have the choice to find within it the place where you can contribute. Where you matter. And if you can't--you have the choice to leave. Or you have the choice to find other places in your life where you can you pour your passion. 

Life is too short to blame other people and circumstances. You have gifts. Yours is but to recognize them, use them and feel the joy of being well-used!
