We have all heard the saying “If you love what you do you will never work another day in your life.” That may be true, but how many people can do what they love every day and make a living at it? Probably very few. Even though I would like to pursue my passion full time I cannot get upset that it is not possible at this point.
There is a way that you can make your everyday job one that you enjoy, possibly even love and can cultivate the passion for it at the same time. It that possible? It is, by finding the simple daily ways to ignite your passion while doing what you need to do to earn your paycheck.
Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. In the town where I live, there is a physician who loves to act and sing. He is part of the city theatrical players, and opera is his passion. Throughout the day, during his visits with patients he will break out in a song in the treatment room or as he is walking down the hallway. He is known as the “singing doctor.”
It seems he has successfully combined his “passions.” He is a physician, participates in community theatre, and sings. Not need to choose on passion over the other.
Is there a way that you can bring more of your passion into your day job to make you happier? Not only would you be happier, but it would bring new life into your job and you would probably be a more successful employee.
