What if you had a passion for your job?

Labor Day is the celebration of the tireless labor that has made our country exceptional from tradesmen all the way up to executives. For me, it was a time to ponder as I drove my family home from vacation.

Labor Day also marks the end of summer - it means it is back to work For most people Monday morning (or Tuesday in this case) is a sad event. But what if you really liked your job? What if you had a passion for what you do?

I can assure you that I do not dread the start of the workweek. I took a hobby and made it a career. What could be better? (Okay, yes - being a pro golfer would be better but consistently shooting over 100 per outing isn't going to get me on the circuit) Don't misunderstand, not every day is a good day. Rather it is just that every day has the potential to be fulfilling (and lucrative).

There are few people that are able to combine something they enjoy with the ability to make a living from it. Make no mistake, it is not a case that some people can't but it is a risk that they won't take. Talk to Social Workers or Pro Athlete or a Craft Store owner or even a talented Chef - they will all talk about their 'job' in a way that shows their passion.

If you ever have the chance, you might just want to take it. Don't listen to what people say - they could just be jealous! You may not being monetarily wealthy but your richness will come in your fulfillment. If you are passionate, you will be successful!
