How To Love What You Do | Career Advice from T. Harv Eker

Are you in a job or business that you absolutely love? If you answered no, then don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people don’t. But the good news is that there’s no reason why everyone can’t love what they do, and I’m going to explain why in this lesson.

Find A Job Or Business That You Love

 

In the past, the type of work we did was based more on necessity than choice. You were a farmer, or a metal-smith, a scholar, a soldier, a weaver because it was expected of you. You did what you had to do, and when it comes to these choices most of them weren’t completely up to you. Breaking out of the path of what was expected of you was hard to do.

Today, the possibility and opportunities exist to choose your own career path. You can love what you do rather than simply doing what is expected from you.

New Opportunities to Pursue Your Dreams

Things have changed. The internet is one example of the greatest equalizers of opportunity ever! Anybody with a great idea, the skills, and the resources can capitalize on a worldwide audience. Hopefully, by now you’ve realized that. But you know what? Out of habit, many people still don’t take advantage of this opportunity.

As a society, we haven’t figured out that we can break away and create our own path. It’s not as essential for us to “do what we have to do”. We have way more options today and way more opportunity than we can even handle. Yes or yes?

The fact is, though, most people do not love what they do for a living. They suffer through their careers because they “have” to, because they should, or because they’re skilled at it. I especially love that one. All the time you hear people saying they hate what they do, but they continue because they’re good at it. Aren’t you supposed to love your work, too?

You know how we can make everyone successful? We’ll all just do one thing. Let’s say, we’ll all be internet marketers. Everyone will get rich, how about that? NO! That’s boring! Maybe not for you, but maybe for someone else who loves to personally interact with as many people as possible. The challenge for them is to find a way to get rich incorporating their passion into whatever career they choose.

Turn Your Passion Into Success

 

So, it’s imperative to love what you do and what you truly enjoy. Joy is a clue from the heart, and it’s different from pleasure. When you invoke the feeling of joy, you’re tapping into your higher nature, your truer self, and the source of your full power, your full creativity, and your full wisdom.

Passion creates energy. Energy creates enthusiasm. When you are passionate about what you do, does that come through? Have you ever bought anything or wanted to buy something from someone just because you liked that person, versus a person that’s got a really good product, but who shows none or—even worse—false enthusiasm? You don’t want to buy from someone like that. It makes a huge difference when someone is passionate about their work.

Human energy, at its purest form, is love. That energy transfers just like any other energy. When you’re passionate about something, you don’t have to sell it. You’re simply educating others on something you really believe in, and their lack of enthusiasm doesn’t temper yours, but rather the other way around. If you don’t love what you do, then what the hell are you doing?!

Now it’s your turn! What do you think? What are the barriers that keep you from realizing that there doesn’t have to be a discrepancy between becoming rich and finding a career that makes you love what you do? We want to hear from you!
