If you don’t love what you do, then why bother?

If you don’t love what you do, then why bother?

 

Ok, I admit, that title may be a bit of a stretch. It’s hard to truly love something like this, but your heart should be in it. If you can fall in love with the journey, rather than focusing on the result, the entire experience becomes much more worth it. When was the last time you had fun? As an artist of any kind, having fun is crucial, and often, it doesn’t receive the acknowledgment it deserves.

Having fun makes it easier to unleash your best self. Many people approach work with their minds brimming with worries.  Think of your job as your time to escape reality.  I think of it as my time to change the world. Show up ready to kick butt and take names.  I did say that!  You are going to be fabulous if you can just find your happy place.

 

 

As for me?

I absolutely love being a creative force.  I am a Director of Sales and I do voiceovers as a second career.  It is all tremendously rewarding, because of the freedom it grants me. How many careers allow you to say yes to what you want and no to what you don’t? Not many, but when it comes to doing voiceovers, I always have a choice and if I don’t like it, I don’t do it.  It’s not that way as a Sales Director which is why I choose to do both.

If your career ain’t fun, then you should run.  Life is too short to do anything that you don’t enjoy.   If you are still here, then you are my kind of person!  You find fun in what you do every day.  Not everything you do will be fabulous but for the most part, I hope you are finding some joy in your days.

 

How can I keep up the excitement?

Find your fun by trying new things.  People may balk at first, so what, this is your moment.

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Start a book club.
                  2. Create a rewards program.
                  3. Come up with fun tips!
                  4. Ask somebody else what they are doing.

 

 

Don’t let anything steal your joy.  You only have one life.  Live it to the fullest.
