"If you live each day as it was your last, some day you will most certainly be right. Almost everything- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure- these things just fall away in the face of death- leaving only what's truly important.
Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. You have got to find what you love and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is gonna fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it and like any great relationship, it gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.” Steve Jobs
I have got it down to 4 words:
“Do what you love.”
Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is ‘no’ keep looking, you’ll know when you find it.
