Identify Your Passion(s), Never Stop Learning, Don’t Give Up
Loving your job, in my mind, always conjures up that famous Crosby, Stills & Nash song “Love The One You’re With”; meaning, sure you may not ever find your perfect job, so might as well love the job you have. While this can be helpful in making it through a particularly tough season in any job, doing what you love is actually attainable for some (not all) of us, and if you ever get the chance, you need to jump on it.
