What Is Passion?
You may be wondering, what exactly is passion? Passion is that inner drive that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning and tackle the day. It's what gets you excited about your work and makes you feel alive.
When you're passionate about your career, you're not just doing a job—you're living your life's purpose. You're not punching a time clock; you're following your heart. And that's a really powerful feeling.

When you're doing something you love, every day feels like a celebration.

11 个月Being stuck in a career you don't love is such a waste, Clarence! I agree with you. Spending 40 hours/week is a lot of time to spend doing something you dislike. It's time for more people to find work that fulfills and motivates them. Life is too short to do the opposite. Thanks for the post, it's a good reminder to us all! ??
