"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius
I stayed in a job for way too long before I got FIRED. Not the best way to leave but I wanted out and in hindsight, it was the best thing that happened to me. If forced me to pursue my desires and paths in life that were complementary to the lifestyle I wanted to live.
I still haven't got it all figured it but here is what I think about working a JOB that you don't love, retirement and doughnuts.
My father sent me this quote by Francis of Assisi - “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given.” I think that puts what we do, have and how we live life into great perspective.
If your job and life, great! If not those create some waves and make some change!
