DO WHAT YOU LOVE!!

"Doing what you love is freedom.

And loving what you do is happiness."

Life is too short to not do what you love.

You only live once:

>> One for Passion.

>> Two for Love.

>> Three for Friendship.

" For me, success isn't even about money. It's about getting to do what you love and supporting yourself. Everything that comes after that is bonus, unless your only goal is to be rich. If that's your goal, you're going to find out that once you have a little, you want a lot. Once you have a lot, you want a lot more." - BOBBY BONES.

Enjoying your career is more important than earning a high salary or flashy title. Here's why now is the right time to switch to a job that makes you happy.

According to a recent study, happiness does not directly correlate with money: The link between income and happiness ends once someone earns $75,000 annually.
For many, working at a job they love is more fulfilling, productive, and important than money. It can even lead to a higher level of success.
To determine what job you will love, you should ask yourself a few questions about your dreams, goals and strengths.

Reasons to do what you love:

Enjoying your career should be a priority over earning a high salary or flashy title, but that may not have been the case when you first considered what you wanted to do for a career. Here are four reasons to quit the job you're unhappy with, along with four questions that can help you determine your next steps to finding a career you love.

You'll feel more fulfilled.
You'll be more productive.
You'll inspire others.
You'll succeed.

4 questions to ask yourself to determine your next step:

It's one thing to know that you don't love what you're currently doing; it's quite different to decide what you want to do next. To help you navigate your career path, consider exploring these methods to find a job you love.

>>What did you want to be as a child?

While it might seem strange to go back to your childhood dreams, they might not be far off from what you would be happy doing. Sure, not everyone can be an astronaut, but whatever that original goal might have been, the desire to pursue that career likely came from somewhere.

Think back to that dream job. Even if you no longer want it, the past goal could help you figure out what drives you. For example, those who wanted to work in law enforcement might be driven by justice or helping people. If you wanted to be a teacher, maybe you liked school or working with children. Tailor your motivators and your strengths to find that perfect position.

>>What would your friends or family say are your strengths?

Sometimes, talking to the people closest to you can help you make more informed decisions, as they see parts of you that you may overlook. Ask your loved ones what they think are your strengths, and consider what job would allow you to use those skills. You gain a different perspective when you ask others' opinions. What you consider your strengths may differ from your family and friends' perceptions.

>>Who was your biggest role model growing up?

Similar to talking about your dream job as a child, you might think about whom you idolized while growing up. Did you love this person because they helped people? Did they have special skills that you desired? Did you find similarities between their and your abilities? By thinking about why you looked up to this person, you might find a job that would suit you. Even if you did not consider it as a child, meditating on it now might help uncover your true goals and desires.

>>What do you truly dislike doing?

It's just as important to know your weaknesses as it is to recognize your strengths. Understanding what you dread doing can help shape your career path. If you don't take this into account, you may find yourself back at square one and looking for another new career down the road. For example, if you hate working with long tables of data in spreadsheets, a career dealing with extensive amounts of data may not be the right move for you.

>>Determining what you want to do next involves a bit of soul-searching. Consider your strengths and weaknesses while deciding your next move, and even try venturing back to your roots to find the next course of action.
