For your consideration:
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.
– Steve Jobs
The secret to success in what you do is to find your passion. It is not always the career that earns you the highest salary or a significant title; it is the one that brings you the most joy and fosters personal growth. A career that encourages you to become the best version of yourself. A career that brings you joy as well as those you serve is, in my view, the key to happiness.
Speaking from experience, it is very easy to get caught up in trying to meet the expectations of the world around us: to solve the next challenge, earn the highest salary, receive the quickest promotions, that we get lost; we miss out on the true meaning of our lives. It is only when we pause and, through self-reflection, evaluate who we are and who we want to be that we change the course of our lives to pursue our passions. It is the most courageous thing you and I may ever do.
