Yet another great post yesterday by Seth Godin, who always seems to stay focused on what really matters and keeps things simple.
If you really want to do something you love, something that is meaningful, joy-filled, fun and fully engages you, something you might want to turn into your livelihood but don't yet see how, something that brings you alive, energizes rather than drains you, something that feels like it MUST be born through you, or if you still have a job or business that you know isn't quite your right livelihood, follow this wise advice. I know I'll be practicing this more than ever in 2011. From Seth's blog, 12/18/10:
What are you working on?
If someone asks you that, are you excited to tell them the answer?
I hope so. If not, you're wasting away.
No matter what your job is, no matter where you work, there's a way to create a project (on your own, on weekends if necessary), where the excitement is palpable, where something that might make a difference is right around the corner.
Hurry, go do that.
