Love what you do?

Doing what you love to do, and getting paid for that; well that’s what you call a dream job. However, most of us are stuck in the rut; stuck in a job where we are doing it just for one reason – MONEY. To exist in this world, in some sort of decency, we need money. To earn it we need a job.

Every now and then big ideas crop up in my mind – How about starting a business? Now, self employment is indeed a great thing. No bosses to report to, no strict processes to follow, no waiting till the end of the month for the salary. Ah bliss! But even if we are self employed and doing what we love to do; it’s imperative that the others also like what we do; in fact like it so much that they start using it, obviously after paying us for it.

So the question is not whether we are happy with what we do. Are others who pay us happy with our work? It’s said that every individual is gifted. Even the most vegetative looking person possesses some talent. Channeling that talent is the need of the hour. Let’s not wait for someone else to find out our talents. As adults we all know what we are truly capable of. I am sure our talents will be of use to somebody. After all there are close to seven billion of us on this planet.

I hope that we all discover our true calling. Let’s start minding our own business(es). :-)
