I have made up my mind that I will be quitting my job within the next 4 weeks. I have saved up some money so I can take some time off and refresh. I would like to pursue a new industry but I'm not really sure what that industry is. I feel extremely uneasy about being jobless for the first time since the age of 15 but I'm looking forward to it as well.
Ideally, I just want to be passionate about what I do. I want to feel like it matters. Which is turning out to be much easier said than done. When I look at the job boards for non-profit companies where I would feel proud to work, I look at the salary and the "nights and weekend work" and I lose my breath. Somehow it's difficult for me to realize that if I'm working with my passion, "nights and weekends" won't be a chore but rather a desire.
I'm passionate about many things but maybe the problem here is that I can't prioritize my passions. I know what I would consider my number one want in life but I don't know what I would consider my number one passion. And this is a problem I feel our country has as a whole - no one has a real passion to change the injustice we face. We haven't had it since the 60's rebellion(s). Is it because we have life too good? It makes us ambivalent?
How do you find a passion? Does it have to find you?
What is your number one passion?
