Are You Passionate About your Career or “Job?”

Most likely we all, at one time or another, have questioned if the career we have chosen is the “right” one. (Dentists included!)

We know everyday cannot be rosy, but how often have you really stopped to think, “Am I doing what I am passionate about?”

One of the best articles I have read was written by John Maxwell in the latest issue of Success magazine. He asks “when you think or talk about your work, does it consume you, do you wake up excited about it, do you go to sleep thinking about it?”

Ask yourself the following questions if you feel like you are not doing what you want to and begin the process of finding your Life’s passion.

1. If you inherited so much money that you would never have to work again, what would you do with your time?
2. What would you never give up because you love it so much?
3. What hobbies have you pursued over the years and why? These may be clues that will tell you something about yourself.
4. What are you naturally good at — so good that other people compliment you?
5. When others consult you for advice, what do they ask you about?
6. What are you curious about?
7. What do you do better than anything else?

If you have not found your life’s passion, what are you going to do to change that?
