Become Successful by Doing What You Want!

Do you find that your mind often drifts off while you are at work? Are you constantly watching the clock and calculating, to the very minute, how much longer you need to stay at work? Do you find your work boring and work-related tasks difficult to complete? Do you wish that you could be someone else? Someone who has endless energy and radiates happiness? Find Your Passion Being that person who radiates happiness and who is energetic and excited about life can happen, when you find and pursue your passion, you become successful. People who follow their passions and do what they love, do stuff better. It’s as simple as: do what you love and love what you do! Shakespeare had it right when he said “To Thy Ownself be True”. Being true to who you are and working in an area that you are passionate about creates a wonderful cycle of success and adds happiness to your life. Like most, cleaning the toilet does not move me to passion but if I can find a way to make cleaning the toilet important to me, then the task becomes doable. I totally love to have a clean and fresh smelling house. It just makes me feel better. If I take that passion for feeling better and apply it to the toilet, then the toilet is easier to clean. The toilet becomes my friend. Well, not my friend exactly, but you get the idea. Because I can’t only do the things that I want to do and can’t afford to hire a cleaner, I use this technique to help me complete those necessary daily household type tasks.

I dislike my job for many reasons. Often I find it very tedious and I try to leave work early when I can. My job is boring, and even worse, there are not enough tasks to keep me occupied. Occasionally though we get an influx of orders and when that happens, I find that my productivity increases and work is easier. Nothing is worse for me than not having enough to do! In order to stave off the boredom and make my job more tolerable, I search out extra tasks and keep a notebook on hand to write my ideas. I tell myself (and believe) that my current job is only temporary and important because it pays my bills. I make my job work for me, by finding moments of happiness throughout the day.

When I get home from work, I turn to my real passion: writing in my blog and keeping up to date with my friends and family. This is what brings me the most happiness. My email account is VERY important to me and I try to keep it as organized as possible (saving time is my passion too). I often send out group emails to my contacts and it is highly important to me that I do not have duplicate contacts in my address book or other messaging applications. I don’t want to look like a rookie who sends out the same message to people more than once. Luckily for me, there is software that will deal with duplicate contacts, so I can avoid doing a mundane task during my fun time.
