Do What You Love....

"Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life."     -Confucius

Dear lord!  I got so sick of hearing this.  I envied those who knew what they wanted and had a one track mind in getting there.  I probably came close to developing a sick fascination over people who were living their dreams.  What did they have that I did not?

They knew what they loved to do.  I had no clue!  I felt like I was some alien who didn't know what I had fun doing or what I was good at.  I can learn to do anything at a basic level rather quickly.  But by the time I need to excel at it - I'm bored with it. 

I tried so many quizzes and read books on the subject of finding my passion.  All I could come to was that I loved many different things and my greatest skill was sitting on the couch with my laptop finding new and interesting things on the net.  A research assistant perhaps?  That would be an amazing position.  I know I would enjoy going to work everyday, but apparently - there aren't a ton of openings.  NEXT! 
I won't bore you with my many attempts at jobs I thought I would enjoy.  Let's skip ahead to how I found what I want to do.
                                                Try It!

I came across this amazing site that asked questions no quiz or person or book ever asked.  And granted, everyone is different so don't be horribly bummed if this doesn't work for you the way it did for me.  I also had already come to the conclusion of what I wanted, this just enforced everything and made me more determined. 

So here it is.  Good luck and let me know if it helps!
