“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day
in your life.” -Confucius
We’ve been
largely conditioned that it’s not possible to build a career around passion. So
many people hate their jobs and many of us have decided to accept that as a
fact of life. Listen carefully. The most crucial ingredient to loving your work
and living off passion is to surround yourself with people already doing it.
You must reverse the brainwashing. Spend time around enough people living squarely
in their dreams, and living off passion not only becomes possible, it becomes
probable. That shift in psychology will change your world. Once someone knows
the process and is convinced not only that it works, but that it is indeed
possible, their creative and business potential becomes limitless. It’s just a
matter of time before they turn the passion of their choosing into a full-blown
career. Start surrounding yourself with people doing the impossible. Don’t look
back. Remember, there are things you are better at (and enjoy more) than the
great majority of those around you. There are also people actively looking for
the expertise you have. A recent study reported that as many as 80% of the
people in the workforce don’t enjoy their job. And nearly 75% don’t know their
true passion. This is not a coincidence. You don’t have to be one of them. What
would happen if we could reverse that statistic? Think about it for a second.
If we can begin building an income around the things that excite us, our work will
no longer be something we loathe. It will be something we can’t get enough of.
Which quickly becomes something the world can’t get enough of. If we can do
that, we can literally change the world.
