I spent a good portion of my afternoon thinking about the disconnect that most of us feel between how we make our livings and the things we would prefer to be doing. Are people lying to us when they tell us we can find our perfect work and that we can do the things we love \u2014 expecting the money will follow?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have answers to those questions, but it\u2019s something I wanted to talk about, so I made a quick-and-dirty video to air my frustrations and thoughts.<\/p>\n

Are you doing something you love? Would you rather be doing something else instead? Are you stuck doing something because it\u2019s the only way you know to make a living? I\u2019ve sometimes done things I\u2019ve loved and other times done things simply for the money. I\u2019m still looking for the way to be my best self and be paid handsomely for it.<\/p>\n

Check out the video below for my thoughts if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n
