My job vs my passion

When was the time last you said to yourself.. "Screw this job.. let me do what i want" and held it back because of responsibilities ? For me (and i bet for most of us), its most of the time.. we sold ourselves to companies to hide our passions and work for them..


why do we want to do what we love to do??

i am not an expert in this field, but as a common man and from self experience (and from experience of close aides), top in the list of answers would be 'CONTENTMENT'. if you feel content with what you are doing you perform incredibly superb at what you do. Other factors i can think of are

1. Quality of the work: is much higher when you do what you like
2. Fun: This is my favorite, i can have as much fun as i want while i do what i love, i really don't care how hard it is, it still is fun..
3. Quantity: you will get done lot of work in the least time

Alright, we have our dreams about our passion, but while we try to make our dreams come true, how can we bring same love to our daily job ? (For our own satisfaction )

 I am sure at the beginning of every job, we all dedicate ourselves but as time pass by zeal gets leaner and leaner. To overcome this, I believe that MOTIVATION and APPRECIATION are the two key factors which does the magic. No one expects for pay raise or a promotion for every single task they do, but 'pat on the back' for every achievement truly gives lot of satisfaction and urge to do the work with more dedication.. (pay raise and promotion is always awesome :) , but it wont hold long enough without periodic appreciations)

i will leave rest to you guys to fill up on

1. Are you doing what you want to do?
2. Why do you think we should do what we love?
3. How can you make yourself love what you do?
