What you like is not what you always like.

You like sports. You like writing. You like reading. You like partying. You like organising. You just like to goof off. You like a million and one things all at once. But how do you figure out what you want more?

The purists and experts tell you to take some time, sit down, and write down everything you really like and prioritise it. So you put down a list in order something like this:

1. Reading.
2. Writing.
3. Sports.
4. Watchng TV
5. Sleeping
6. Goofing off
7. Sports
8. Ice Cream
9. Jeniffer Aniston
10. Sports
11. Internet
    
12. Blogs
13. did i mention sports???

So there you have it. Now you know what you want more and what less. Simple ain't it? Now all you have to do is to find something that falls in the domain of the first 2 or 3 of your choices and Voila! You have a job you enjoy!
"If you are working in a job you enjoy, you are not really working at all", said some really intelligent guy. Wonder what his profession was? Swim suit calendar photographer perhaps...ah..well..we will never know. But is there any truth in what he said?

Maybe...maybe not! You could really love something but when it becomes something more than what you just love and something that is bound to you day in and day out it may no longer be that interesting and fun. Think about it....is that why people fear marriage so much? It brings with it a sense of responsibility which tends to take away the fun aspect. A failure or a below par performance is no longer just a blip it becomes a blunder. You don't want to do it anymore for the sheer enjoyment, you don't want to do it because you like it. You end up doing it because you have to and thats where the problems start!

Makes you wonder doesn't it! What you need now is a passtime, a hobby, a getaway from work. When your hobby is your work...how do you get away from it? Coming back from a hard day's work to paint or read or draw on the weekends is a break, but how do you getaway from hobby as work? You need to come up with a new hobby. When you do that, is that a hobby anymore at all, or is it just an excuse for a hobby?

So while everything is easy to say, actually finding a job you love and a life without your job that you can grow to love is not easy by any stretch of imagination.
