I have a problem.
You see, I am fortunate enough to love what I do on a daily basis. However, I am cursed in that I would love to do about 50 other things in my life. If I lost my job today, I would have a difficult time deciding what to do, not because of fear or the availability of a job, but because there would be so many choices out there.
Yes, I am aware that there are fewer and fewer jobs available today. As a teen/ young adult I held a myriad of positions over the years. These opportunities gave me the confidence to try anything and as I get older, worry less about how much I make. Is money important? Of course! You need to eat and pay for medical expenses etc...Yet, I want to set an example for our kids.
The college that they attend, if they choose, need not be Ivy League, their careers need not be $$$$$$$. They need to be happy, confident and willing to contribute to society in a meaningful way. I hope that we are setting a good foundation for them to be successful at what they choose to do, and remember, we all measure success differently.
So, do you do what you love?

I have decided that what you love can be several different things. I have the opportunity right now to do various things I love-write (my favorite) but I balance it with jewlery making and pouring over fashion mags for my blog-I am a happy camper!
