Do what we love or love what we do

Do what you love to do. Have you ever imagine of working everyday in your life, hating every single minute of doing your work? Well i have tried, but i can't imagine it. I think it's too disastrous. Well then, to avoid that, we have 2 options. Do what we love, or love what we do. While we still have chance, as we're young now, I'd rather choose the first one. =)

A lot of people say (well, success people said it in their seminars, books, or whatsoever, then i heard from many sources, friends mostly =p) to do what we love is one of the great secrets of success. This is also one of our primary responsibility in life. It is to find out what we really enjoy doing. What is our natural talent, and then to throw our whole heart into doing that very very well. Like one of my mentor often says, "Stand in your position of strength".

To be success we have to find the field where our natural strengths and abilities are exactly, what is required to do our job so that we can achieve the result we desired. Most success people said that they never work a day in their life. When we are doing what we love to do, we seem to have a continuous flow of excitement, energy, and idea to do what we do even better. 

Here are two important questions to help you : if you have already become a successful person and have all the money and time you need, would you continue what you are currently doing? Would you stay at your current activity? These simple questions will actually tell you what you're really dreaming for, where your heart belongs. People who succeed in their life usually will say that they will continue what they are currently doing. They love their work so much that they won’t even think of leaving it or retiring. Perhaps the greatest responsibility of adult life, when we are surrounded by so many different choices of occupation or activity, is for us to find out what it is that we really love doing and then to dedicate our self to that field and no one else can do it for us. Each one of us is unique and when we can develop our "uniqueness" and become the best of ourselves, we will succeed.

No career or other person can bring you satisfaction if you are dissatisfied with yourself. Because who we are makes a difference.
