Saw a statistic recently that revealed only 11% of all Americans were, in essence, in their “dream job”, feeling like they wouldn’t do anything else, they’d do their current work for free if they had to…they loved their work.

A great leader/author once said, “Your job is what you do until you discover your life’s work. Once you discover your calling, you never retire…one day, you simply change your schedule a bit.” So the real question then, is…how do you find your dream job? I’d submit to you you don’t. You do your dream work, your passion, and the work will find you.

Here’s a video that inspired me this morning.

Best video ever? Nope. But it was done by the son (adult son, husband and father of 2) of a friend in radio broadcasting, who decided he would start working passionately at 2 things he loves: Football and video production. He put it on YouTube, and got a call with compliments from someone at NFL films. Did he get the job? Who cares.

Point is this…we have results, we have dreams fulfilled, or we have stories and excuses to tell. What’s stopping you today from doing that dream work, that passion inside you? Even 15 minutes a day…write a blog…start the novel…buy the hammer…do something. (”I will bless the things you set your hands to…” )

You’ll be amazed at what you’ll discover in you, and quite possibly who might discover you. Your gifts aren’t yours. They were given to you to use to impact others.

11%…Wonder how much lower the stat would be about life in general…relationships, geography, spiritual walk, etc.?

Dare to be you. Dare to do what’s inside you. Start today, and see what…and who…finds you.
