Raise your hand if you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up. This question has always haunted me. In fact the people who knew at five what they were made to do exasperate me. Really? At five? How can that be? What makes me even sicker is the thought of doing something just for a paycheck the rest of my life. I personally think life is too short to work at a job you don’t just love. I think people should get past the amount on the paycheck (after they are debt free of course–I mean we do have to be responsible) and pursue what turns their crank, makes them go DONG, work in their passion.
I found this book at the thrift store yesterday called What Should I Do With My Life? by Po Bronson. What I really like about it is… Bronson interviewed around 900 people who left (or were required to leave) their jobs, to do what they love. He shares 50 of their stories along with some real-life ideas to implement as you chase your purpose. Cool!
Other books I plan to read are 48 Days To The Work You Love and No More Mondays by Dan Miller. By the time I’m done…I’m gonna know what I’ll be when I grow up. Curiously, I think it may look a whole lot like a homemaker and writer. Regardless, I’ll let you know what I find out.
What about you? Have you read any good books about this? Do you work in your passion? If so, what do you do?
Simply,
Sis
