7 Things that Confirm You Are Doing What You Love
Have you ever heard the adage, “just throw a million ideas on the wall and see what sticks”?
Every business has its ups and downs. Some will kick off well from
the start and others will not, but whether or not there is initial
growth it’s ‘that thing’ you’re doing that’s going to determine whether
or not you’re going to be able to sustain the long haul.
‘That thing’ has everything to do with what you love doing. Doing
what you love amidst the challenges you’ll face is going to be a huge
contributing factor to your success
Not only that but what you love doing is embedded with a reason for why
you love doing it in the first place, which gives you the ability to
withstand those challenges that are coming.
So how do we know we’re doing what we love even when things get tough?
Here are 7 clues that will help you know whether or not you have what it takes to weather the storms for the long haul.
Be inspired : “I didn’t go to college until I was fifty"-Humans of New York
“I was working as a school safety officer when I met her.
She was a teacher. But she kept working her way up. She became a principal. She
went to work in the central office. She got her doctorate. Eventually she
became the highest-ranking black woman in New York education. She was always
taking that next step. I was working as a custodian when we got married. She
was making five times more than me. It bothered me at first. It took some
counseling to convince me that she hadn’t ‘settled’
for me. I’d been raised on the idea that the man was supposed to provide. But
Be Inspired: Learn from the man who invented the slice bread
The slice bread, like the neck tie, got
me curious. Did you know the slice bread was invented by somebody? I understand
everything under the sun is somehow invented, just didn’t think the slice bread
should have gone through any sought of special invention. For god sake its
bread you can slice it if you want it’s just a matter of choice. And yes that choice was made by millions of
Americans who preferred the pre-sliced bread on the shelf and like Aaron Bobrow-Strain said, 'The sliced loaf becomes a kind of
small, edible promise of a better world.' this is the story of the man who
invented the sliced bread, read and be inspired.
So many years
ago, about hundred years ago, loaves were not sliced they were rather sold
whole and had to be sliced by hand, because pre-slicing it would make it go
stale quickly. But somebody had a different idea; his idea will change the view
of the world forever.
On June 7 1928, a
jeweler by profession an Iowa native Otto Fredrick Rohwedder invented a
mechanical bread slicer. This changed ‘the art of sandwich making forever.’
The idea to invent the slice bread first came up
in 1912,
Reality check: "....I lost my humility. And that’s when growth stops.”
“I don’t enjoy observing people as much as I used to.
Everyone acts like they’re on stage. People used to come to The Village
sheepishly. Nobody was sure if they belonged. We didn’t know if we were
artists. These days everyone walks around like they’re contributing something.
There’s no angst anymore. There’s too much certainty. And that’s a shame.

The 3 keys to happiness: My first goal was to simplify my life
I got my degree in engineering
because my brother was going to school for that and I couldn’t think of any
other career paths that I wanted to do. After graduating college and securing a
job at Westinghouse I was excited and ready to start my career. I soon
realized that I had made the wrong choice and that it wasn’t what I thought it
would be. The people I worked with seemed lifeless and passionless about
their jobs and the feeling was contagious. There always seemed to be an
air of tension among people and the way they acted seemed fake and somewhat
nervous.
This corporate world was not for me
and it was resonating throughout my life in various negative ways; my health
was failing, I felt empty inside, I drank
