Do What You Love To Do!

I am a fan of Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) and I was sadden to hear of his sudden death. When something like that happens, I usually become a little introspective about my own life and what I've done with it.

I hope that someone would have something to say about me similar to what Bill Wineke of the Wisconsin State Journal said about Steve Irwin after his death. "But the lesson of Steve Irwin is that, deep down, we have to live each day in its own right and glean from each day those pleasures and satisfactions it might offer. By all accounts, Irwin lived his life doing what he loved to do and he died doing what he loved to do."

I really like that last sentence..."lived his life doing what he loved to do and he died doing what he loved to do." What a wonderful thing to say about someone!

When you look at your own life and career, can you honestly say that you are living your life doing what you love to do? If not, ask yourself these questions:

1. What is it that I love to do?
2. What is keeping me from doing what I love to do?
3. How would my life be different if I was doing what I love to do?

Sometimes just knowing the answer to these questions can start us on a journey that will change our lives.
