What fuels you?

One question most asked of me is, "How can you do what you do day after day?"  My answer is simple and one I will share before ending this blog.  First,  I worked for years in an occupation I was told by counselors that I would be successful in.  It did not occur to me that perhaps I was destined for other things.  Because I was brought up to be the best of whatever I chose, I worked hard to be a high producing and efficient employee.  However, I found my energy depleted, depression visited frequently, and negativity was my co-pilot.  There were days when I would sit in the parking lot physically ill just thinking about venturing inside.  

Thanks to someone who knew me better than I knew myself, I was given an opportunity to change careers. Valuable lessons were learned.  I found I could continue my education no matter what the age.  I found I could enjoy going to work each morning.  I found I was not a negative person but one of encouragement.   I learned that there are other choices for us which can improve quality of life by just being content and happy.  I learned I could be a balcony person.

So... the answer to the question is:
When a person loves what they do, that love naturally fuels the energy. That energy fuels a passion which in turn enables us to do what we do day after day and love it.
