What do you feel that you were made to do?

What activity or work do you do that makes you feel alive?

How can you design your life so that you can do more of the work that you were made to do?

Impossible you say?

Yes, you’re correct if by impossible you’re saying that you can’t do what you’re made to do all the time. But what if you could do what you were made to do at least for a few hours a day. How would that feel? Just imagine for those few hours a day just how alive you’d feel. You’d dream about those hours and look forward to them every day, just so that you could experience being in that zone of doing what you’re made for.

It’s hard to find activities or work that you feel as though you’re made to do, that’s why you’ll find that the majority of people you speak to don’t love what they do. Finding work that you’re made to do is work itself, it involves taking risks and trying different things. You have to be willing to put up with criticism and on occasion, feeling lost until you eventually land on the work that brings you alive.

Is it worth the hassle to find work that you’re made to do?

That’s a question only you can answer for yourself, but from me, you’d hear a resounding yes. You can go through life just fine without finding what you were made to do, but deep down you’ll always have this nagging feeling that you should have at least tried to find what you were made to do, or even worse, you knew what you made to do, but it didn’t carry the right prestige or financial reward, so you ignored or suppressed the feeling.

The good news is that if you’re reading this then there’s still time for you to do what you were made to do. Even if you only have time to spend a few hours a week dabbling in what you were made to do, those few hours will be the most energizing and refreshing hours of your week. So go for it. It’ll prevent you from reaching the end of your life and feeling the regret that you didn’t do the work you were made to do.
