“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” -Confucius

People for centuries have done things they hate. Every day they come in and do the same thing. They dread coming to work, they hate their boss, hate their work, and dislike their coworkers. 

Why though? Is it stability? Content? Lack of motivation? 

We’ve been trained to go to school. Get a good job after graduation and work their for forty years until we can retire. That’s when the fun begins. People feel they need to stay at a job or it will effect their resume. 

Fuck your resume. Do what you want. Don’t worry what others will think of you. It’s your life. 

Confucius made a great point. Choose a job you love and you won’t work a day in your life. But how do we choose a job we love nowadays? 

You have to do as much as you can. Try everything. Write down what makes you happy. Then try to find a job around that or create one. Quit a job if you dislike it. Apply to jobs you truly want. 

If you really want to never work a day in your life you must work a bunch of shitty days. Days where you have to figure it out. Find out what it is you want. 

Most people don’t know what they want to do right off the bat. You need to do a bunch of jobs. Maybe you like what you do but you’re at the wrong company. Maybe you like your company but hate the job. Maybe you just want to work for yourself. 

Whatever it may be speak up. Let someone know how you feel. Leave your job. Start something on your own. 

Don’t regret never saying anything. Don’t regret never leaving. 

Figure out what you want to do. That’s when the real work begins.
