Can’t Do What You Love? Then Love What You Do! Finding Satisfaction at Work

Short of winning the lottery, inheriting a fortune, or stumbling across a big bag of small, unmarked bills in the desert, most of us must work for a living in order to have what we need and want our lives to include.  

Popular belief would have us believe that we are failures if we are not living the life of our dreams, not working in jobs that we are completely and absolutely passionate about, that meet all of our heart’s desires, and are entirely in our best and highest interest. Certainly, this is nice work if you can get it, you know what it is, and you are in a position to go after it. But for many of us, we are unable or unwilling to pursue our ideal job. Or we may not know exactly what we’d love to do, but we know on some level that it doesn’t exist in our current work situation.
