“Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don’t love what you’re doing and you can’t give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short.” Al Lopez

How true! Life is too short to do something we do not love. The challenge often relates to the crossroads of our talent and what we love to do. When these two combine, we find a beautiful combination in a lifelong pursuit of success.

However, we too often find ourselves trapped in a job we do not love, and the difficulty of getting up and going into work can lead to discouragement and depression.

If money is the driving force behind our life’s pursuits, we can easily fall into this trap.

Our post is not advocating the opportunity to abandon responsibilities for a “carefree” life. When we eliminate, however, the drive of financial or monetary gain, striving to accumulate more “stuff,” then perhaps we can find a way to lead in areas of our talent and passion.
