“Show Me the Passion!”

Having passion in our lives is a whole lot better than having money.  Unfortunately, it’s not reality for most of us.  I’ve come to realize that "passion" is a luxury.  Do you remember when we were younger, how we were told to find a way to do what we loved doing no matter how much we got paid for it?  Although I’m not one to fill my mind with "woulda, shoulda, coulda", I do wish that I could find a way to do what I’m passionate about rather than settling for what I know how to do. 

Today marks the day for completing my first week at my new job.  Rather than say negative things about the job, I should point it back to me and admit that I’m the one at fault.  I haven’t found the right match for me.  What I need to do is use the time at my present job to redefine the elements in a job that are important to me, and learn how to eliminate the elements that I don’t like.  If I can do that, my time will be well-spent.

I hope that one day I wil report to you that I am doing exactly what I love doing, rather than doing what I have to do.  Until then …
