The Quest to Merge Our Passion and Our Work
Imagine a world where we all could turn our passion into our work. A world where we support one another's dream so we all succeed; not a world of competition set up to create winners and losers.
There are many people who have been fortunate enough to follow their passion and turn it into a career. However, the majority spend their days on a proverbial treadmill trying to make ends meet. They work every day to allow another to reach success; never feeling the joy of acquiring the same success for themselves.
We live in a monetary society, and we need to work in order to provide for our families. In a perfect world we would be able to have financial stability pursuing our passion, but we know this isn't possible for everyone. Because of our needs and desires, there are jobs to be filled and services that need to be provided. Someone must fill these roles, and for most it's a job and not a passion.
If we can't turn our passion into financial success, we need to look for ways to use it in work that will support us. Those who are social and like being around people may enjoy working in the service sector. Creative in the kitchen? Look for work in the restaurant industry to put your talents to use. For those who prefer the freedom and solitude of working independently, there are jobs that allow for this. Any of these positions can have their challenges mentally, physically and financially, but if we can find some joy in what we do each day it can soften the rough spots.
It would be wonderful if every one of us were successful pursuing what we love. To be able to do this, and support others so they can do the same, would make for a less stressful and more harmonious world. Perhaps given enough time we could all be financially stable, and fortunate enough to enjoy what we do.
Until the day arrives that we achieve this goal, living in a world driven by money requires us to work in order to survive. If what we do cannot be our passion, then we need to find a way to incorporate even a small part of our passion into it. By doing this and encouraging and supporting other's efforts to do the same, perhaps we all can, in some small way, make our passion our work. A win for us, for our communities, and for the world.
