Why is this important?
Making your passions WORK for you is important because your happiness MATTERS and makes a difference in your life.
Waking up to a day you really look forward to can make all the difference in your world.
It can be even better: Imagine waking up day after day to the work you love to do. After we turn forty, things change. If we admit it to ourselves, deep inside we wish we could do more with our lives. Our concerns usually center around our work. At this stage of life, we tend to give up our dreams and settle on doing just a job and hope one day to finally do what we love when we retire.
But will that day ever come?
Where do you stand?
Do you know what you are passionate about?
Are you working at what you are passionate about?
If you didn’t answer “yes” to both questions, you have more to do. Many people over forty just assume it’s too late. They feel society’s pressure to slow down, conserve and save.
Are you saving too much?
Recent research by a small group research institution suggests that Americans are currently saving too much. The report suggests that we should get more out of our money while we are young. Otherwise, we risk losing opportunities to enjoy what we have vs. saving for when we’re older.
Of course this advice would be frowned on by almost every financial firm—they have great ideas for using your money! Most of these firms suggest the average person will need an annual income equal to 75 to 86% of what he or she earned in their final year of employment!
When you do what you love and have a lighter backpack, you never need to retire!
What these firms don’t understand is that with a lighter backpack, we can, in fact, work forever doing what we love and come pretty close to the income we require. With vocation, there is no final year of employment until one stops breathing!
What happens if you wait too long?
