Every person has to work to make a living. However, the point is to do what you love, if you want to be truly successful.

From having stressful jobs to having a profession that you do not really like or enjoy, sometimes many of us want to just quit our jobs and to do what we love to do.

But considering the practicality of choosing that path, it is never easy.

Based on the Gallup survey, there are only 32% of the American population who actually love their profession.

What we can infer from the latest poll is the fact that there are a lot of people who are not happy and personally satisfied with their daily life. But if other people can do it and be successful to do what they love for a living then you can too. At the end of the day, you are the one who will determine your success.

1. Do not be Afraid to Give it a Chance and to Start Over Again.

A lot of people who have passion and dreams that they want to fulfill would, later on, end up regretting because they failed to take the risk and the chance to do what they really love to do.

If you have a stable job that pays you a really good salary but your passion is elsewhere, it is difficult to start all over again and to start. But if you will never give it a try and if you are not willing to start again then you will never know.

2. Know What You are Great at.

Knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses are the keys for you to be successful and to do what you love for a living. When you love what you do, your passion and eagerness naturally come out. You excel because you know what you want to do.

That is why it is essential that you know in which areas you are great at. It is a good thing if you already know what you really want and you know in which areas you are good at.

But for those who are still in that stage thinking as to where their career path should go, it is crucial to take some time to ponder on things. This might be a simple question but it is difficult to answer.

It helps if you can create a list. In your list, write down your greatest strengths and skills. This will help you know more about what you can do and offer.

3. Know Your Passion.

Based on your skills and greatest strengths, it is now much easier for you to know your passion. There are people who at a very young age already know what their passion is. For sure, you have heard successful athletes who have started training ever since they are young.

How about for those people who do not know what their passion is? This is not an easy question to answer. But the answer lies in knowing yourself and your heart. What is that thing that you are passionate about?



Passion is something that you know you love to do every day for the rest of your life. If you want to do something and you do not care much about the money then that is passion. So, do the things that you love to do. Let yourself be free and allow yourself to be passionate about things that matter to you.

4. Highest Point of Service.

In today’s world, almost all people would emphasize the importance of earning money, money, and money. There is nothing wrong with that. We all need money to live. Yet at the end of the day, it is not just all about that. In life, you also need to have meaning, a purpose.

If you do what you love for a living, it means that you do not just do it out of passion. You do not just live by it because that is where your greatest strengths lie. You should always remember that in everything you do, you should be of service to other people.

5. Take the Risk and Take Action.

Once you already know what you want to do in life and what makes you happy, you need to be able to muster your courage to take action. It is never an easy thing to leave other things behind and to pursue what you really want.

You have to be bold and you need to take action if you really want to pursue your passion. It takes hard work and patience to be able to do what you love for a living.

To be both successful and to do what you really want would take time. You will experience failures and other challenges. But if you know yourself and you are willing to do to excel and to be really good at what you love, success will eventually come.
