Find It


Hello friends,
Let me just say thank you for your emails. It has been amazing reading your thoughts on ‘Two Words’ and responding to your questions. I am going to be talking about myself today. If you are doing something you love, studying a course you enjoy or if your job is in line with your passion, I am happy for you because that is the best situation to be in. If you are not, then I have two words for you… Find It.
I love my job to pieces. I work with some of the most amazing people I have ever met and we’re like a family. As for my job itself, I can hardly think of a job I would rather be doing at this time of my life. I train people in the job market and help them get jobs. What could be more fulfilling? I enjoy my job because it is in line with my passion.
GUESS WHAT!
As much as I love my job, sometimes I don’t feel like doing it. After many trips away from my family, spending my days and nights working myself to the bone, sometimes I just wake up and ask myself why I have to get out of bed. On those stressful days, I close my eyes for 2 minutes, take a deep breath and I remind myself of all the things I wrote above, in the second paragraph of this article. By the time I open my eyes, I feel revived and ready to move mountains. My passion drives my life.
Do you know what makes you tick? Many people who are successful say that they are successful because they are getting paid for doing their hobby. Do you know what you wouldn’t mind doing for the rest of your life, even if you wouldn’t get paid?... If you don’t, you have to Find It. The job I do could make someone else miserable because everyone has something different that is their thing.
I am not referring to a profession right now, I am referring to your passion. You could be a customer service agent who is passionate about singing, or a brand manager who gets fulfillment from teaching. There is nothing wrong with that, just Find It. Whatever your IT is, when you find it, you can chart a course from where you are, to where you are going and all of a sudden there is a purpose to everyday because with each new day, you are one day closer to your dream.

Don’t loose sight of your passion or purpose: Remember It
Don’t loose hope in your dreams: Chase Them
If you don’t know the thing that can spur you on every day: Find It

Please remember that even when you are doing something you love you can get tired, how much more when you are doing something just for the sake of doing it. Don’t wait for life to hand you your dream: Find it!
