Passion versus Reality

February 26, 2008 by me

A great article asking the Stefi-losohpy question of: If I do what I love and get paid for it, will I stop loving it?

  1. new to blogging. Haven’t had a chance to read through your blog. But simply had to respond. I adore doing what I love as a career. Adore it. I’m a life coach, artist, workshop leader. I play in my world of passions and get to help others bring their passions to the forefront of their lives… turning them into an income, but not a ‘job’.
    “If you are doing what you love, you never work another day in your life”
    Of course, it is possible that one can turn a passion into their income and stop loving it. If i’d chosen only my pottery as my income, I may have become exhausted by it. This is where a life coach came in handy for me!
    Living life to the fullest doesn’t mean spending 40 hours a week doing something you don’t love. Every hour of our day can have much more meaning than that.

    Yeah I guess you could love vicariously living through other people’s achievements and “passions” like a… life coach. Couldn’t figure out what to love, so picked somebody else’s. Classic.
