Do what you love...

The idea itself is not novel... it's simple, but the act of actually doing what you love is a bit more complicated. As a child you're taught that work and fun are opposites that will never mesh... and now people are telling you, "do what you love"? Sounds like an oxymoron, eh?

So, just how are you supposed to do what you love?

Well, let me answer that question with another question: Do you wake up in the mornings excited for the day ahead and the challenges and opportunities that it brings?

If you do - FABULOUS! You're one of the lucky few!

If you don't - well, take comfort in the fact that you're not alone. But be proactive in the fact that you want to love what you do, and look for those opportunities. Here's your chance to discover:

  • Your Passion - What makes you feel alive?
  • Your Strengths - What are you naturally good at?
  • Your Value - The intersection of "what you're good at" and "what people will pay you for"
  • Your Commitment - Optimism! Stop with the "maybe oneday" and "I don't know" - Say YES to yourself and don't look back

Do what you love and the world will take notice. It's a journey.
