Is what you are doing now, something you love to do?

They say if you do something you love and are passionate about, you will never work a day in your life. I would say I like what I do as an IT professional but not necessarily love it to the point that I would do it for free. So it makes me wonder, what if everyone pursued their passions, we might have a shortage on some fields right?
And also I wonder, if we did pursue our passions, would we be where we are right now?
What do you think? Is what you are doing now, something you love to do?

Yes and also sometimes passion does not really pay that much so there is a sacrifice as well if you choose passion

@lealuvy2j Yeah that's the problem but I hate sacrificing when it comes to passion.

I see. Your passion is entrepreneurship. I wish you luck. Maybe you can achieve that goal someday.

Yes I do like what I do now. We can't have everything we want in life, and there will always be imperfections but I won't trade what I do now for any other work.

Nice to hear. I would not trade my career for any work now but makes me wonder what am I really passionate about in the first place

@lealuvy2j That's okay, you'll eventually know. I only found that out after years of working and job hopping.

Are you a lawyer? Before I have dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but my parents can't afford that I would be in school for 8 years which is why I became an engineer.

Actually happened to me as well. I have been wanting to be a lawyer but because of family pressure, I became an engineer instead.

If gardening is your passion, how about blogging about gardening? Since you are focused in fitness now,do you mean fitness is your passion?

I do enjoy the job that I do but I am not so sure that I love it. It is not a passion. I enjoy the design part of it and when I design I give it my all. I think if I did it for myself and not as a job I would enjoy it more.
