Never work a day in your life! The point is not that we should never be busy, never had a lot to do, never feel any pressure or get tired. The point is not that we should not be doing anything. The point is that we need to make sure we are busy doing the right thing. The way to not work a day in our lives is to make sure we do something that we enjoy. What we like doing is fun, it is exciting, it is a challenge and thrilling, but it is never just work, never a chore. What you need to do is find, and then follow, your passion. That’s what counts, that’s what makes life worth living. That’s what gives life meaning. It’s not about the money, the possessions, the things. They will come in time. The important thing is living your passion. Here is an amazing story I ready in John Maxwell’s book Leadership Gold. In his book Making a Life, Making a Living, Mark Albion writes about a revealing study of business people who took two very different paths after graduating from college. Here is what he says: "A study of business school graduates tracked the careers of 1,500 people from 1960 to 1980. From the beginning the graduates were grouped into two categories. Category A consisted of people who said they wanted to make money first so that they could do what they really wanted to do later – after they had taken care of their financial concerns. Those in Category B pursued their true interest first, sure that the money would eventually follow." "What percentage fell into each category? Of the 1,500 graduates in the survey, the money-now Category A’s comprised 83 percent, or 1245 people. Category B risk takers made up 17 percent, or 255 graduates." "After twenty years there were 101 millionaires in the group. One came from category A, 100 from Category B." It’s your job to find your passion, and follow it. Then success will find and follow you!
