What's the Most Awesome Job in the World?

by Rhea Vitto Tabora

The best job in the world? Doing the thing you love and getting paid for it! What can be more awesome than that?

Pursue your passion, keep that fire burning, and enjoy the journey.

What do you need to do?

It’s not going to be a perfect ride. There will be many ups and downs, countless challenges and hurdles along the way. Prepare yourself before taking the plunge. Equip yourself with lots of dedication, energy, enthusiasm, hard work and perseverance. Remain focused, and with the support of your loved ones, there is no doubt you will make your mark in achieving your dream. The way to move forward is to never, ever give up. Only you can make it happen.

I don’t mean quitting your day job though. If you love what you’re doing, by all means, stick with it because it means you’re doing a great job doing it.

But if you don’t love nor enjoy what you’re doing, it might be the time to reconsider things. You’ll do better in doing the things you love. You’ll be more productive. You’ll be happier. Because doing something meaningful will keep you motivated.

So ask yourself that big question. What are you passionate about?

Have the heart in mentoring? Go teach.
Passionate about words? Write.
Love arts and crafts? Use your creativity and make it more than just a hobby if you can.
Having an affair with photography? Capture the world and embrace it.
Obsessed with defending the victims? Be a lawyer.
Caring for a sick person, not just your family? Work in a hospital.
Love tennis? Be a player or a tennis instructor.

Live a meaningful life

What’s the point of getting a 9 to 5 job if you prefer to hold a brush and paint? Why not follow the path you love and live a more fulfilling, more meaningful life?

Are you ready to take the plunge?

It is not easy. It is in fact a life-changing decision.

But as Steve Jobs puts it, “the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
