Are you working in your passion?



We are on vacation in St. Johns and it is incredible to meet so many people who have followed their passion and are doing what they love. To them work is like play. Our Scuba instructor Josh had tried professional drumming and being a teacher but the sea kept calling him. For the past 10 years he has been sharing his love and passion for diving with people like me who are new to the sport and love the experience of seeing all the great underwater sights.


In contrast there was Kyle who sat at the desk signing people up for 12 hours a day. He said it was better than laying foundations for 12 hours a day. He has a degree in business communications and wants to be a salesman.


I hope it works out for Kyle, I don’t see the passion in his eyes for sales. I see the dollar signs. If you do what you love the dollars will follow. You will work longer and harder, you will push through more obstacles doing what you are passionate about.


Are you looking forward to going to work today because it excites you? Share your story
