Do You Love What You Do?
As we step into a new year, like many others, you may be contemplating what you’d like to accomplish this year. Maybe you have plans to step into a whole new career. Or perhaps you just want to land a better-paying job. Whatever your plans are, one thing you should consider when it comes to your career choices is this: Do you love what you do?
PAIN-FREE LIVING
One of the major reasons why so many people are unhappy with their jobs is because they aren’t passionate about what they do. They simply get up and go to work every day. It’s all work and no play. Doing what you love, however, can create a pain-free life. You won’t be miserable. You won’t be unhappy. You won’t hate waking up every morning.
WHEN WORK ISN’T WORK
The absolute best thing for anyone is to be able to say, “I love my job.” When you are able to say this, work isn’t work for you anymore. Work is fun. Work is almost “play” because you adore your job.
Many people who have worked an entire lifetime in one career, but remained miserable, often chose to segue into a dream career late in life. Nearly 100% of those people say, “I wish I would have done this years ago.”
WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?
If you don’t love what you do, what’s holding you back? What’s stopping you from moving to a different career? Like most, you probably think you’re too old, or that you have too much time invested in your current position to just give it all away. While that may be true, the choice you have to make is simple: Will you continue living a miserable existence? Or will you choose to do what you love and be happier?

One word sums up what holds most people back fear.
Be it fear of the unknown, fear of success, or even fear of being happy.
You hit the nail on the head!
I agree with you both. Fear seems to be the main reason why some people stay trapped in jobs they don’t enjoy.
I’ve been very fortunate in my life. I’ve enjoyed both of the careers I dreamed of as a boy - the navy and writing fiction - and discovered several other wonderful occupations along the way.
That’s wonderful, David. Not everyone dreams a dream, then follows after it.
