What do you want to accomplish in life? Who are you meant to be? What gives you meaning and purpose? Where do you want to be in 5 years from now? How are you going to get there? I know it’s a lot of questions up front, but I would encourage you to take the time to answers these fully. Living from your passions requires hard work and self-awareness. It requires taking risks, stepping out on a limb, and having the faith to let go even when you don’t see the ground below.

Are you a part of the fortunate group who get to work from the comfort of your own home? For many people the idea of working wherever and whenever they want is pretty appealing.

Following our passion in life is easier said than done. When I speak of passions here, I’m referring to the dreams and desires we have to make a living from what we love to do most or what gives us purpose and meaning. Passions are what drive our behavior and fill us with energy and enthusiasm. So, what’s your passion and what are you doing to make sure you pursue it with success?

People seek out what they feel good about, what makes them feel good, and what provides them with growth and personal satisfaction. More and more, people are unwilling to compromise this personal growth and autonomy, and will do what it takes to create these opportunities. Fortunately, it’s also more reasonable and logical than in the past to create your dream job.

Out is the old mind numbing, repetition based work, and in is the new and ever changing creative and inventive, idea based work.
So how to spark that creative enthusiasm at the office when you have to tackle some project that you are perhaps not so passionate about? How can you build a creative palace inside the same old work cubicle that you are so familiar with? Here are a few tips.

If you’re in a job that doesn’t meet your needs for significance and success, there are two primary options: 1) You can leave and move on to any “available” bigger and better things. Or, 2) You can get a promotion, reap the benefits, and use the rest of your time to develop your ideal career.
