Do You Know How to Find Joy and Strength in Your Career? Pursue what you enjoy. When you are engaged in tasks you enjoy, time flies. You feel energized. You feel strong. To succeed in anything you do, you need persistence. Do you drag yourself to work every day, or would you rather fly? The wings of joy are what you need to fly.

If you are out of work, or you can’t stand your job, then it may be hard to bracket those feelings and move toward what you enjoy. However, the journey is worth it. Most people don’t love what they do. Become one of the few people that do love their work. Receive all the benefits in health and well-being when you pursue work you love and enjoy.

What would you do if money were not an object? What tasks are you doing when you lose track of time? What are you doing when you feel strong? The answers to these questions are clues to your passions.

Passion is the fuel you need to pursue your career goals.

Follow the trail of your natural abilities. Build your day utilizing your strengths. How do you know when you are tapping into a strength – you feel strong. You know you are tapping into a weakness, when you feel weakened.

Notice and write down on a pad of paper when you feel energized doing a task. Write down what you love to do. Write down when you feel strengthened. This will give you clues to your innate gifts. In the book “Now, Discover Your Strengths” by Marcus Buckingham, you will receive access to a test and descriptions of different strengths. He also wrote a new book called “Find your Strongest Life.”
