You don’t need to do what you love to be successful; rather, you need to love what you do. Put another way, if you love what you do, you never need to work. A recent article in YOLO describes a sushi chef in the the movie, Jiro Dreams of Sushi . The film is about an 85 year-old Japanese man who owns the smallest three star Michelin restaurant in a subway station in Japan. He loves his work.
What do you love about your job? The money, the people, the work, the challenge?
What would you do, if money was not a concern? The test of whether people love what they do is whether they'd do it even if they weren't paid for it—even if they had to work at another job to make a living. How you answer this question might lead you on the path to happiness.
Being a great sushi chef simply requires patience, humility and sensitivity. It takes 10 years of training to become a true sushi chef.
It's the same with your personal life. Look at your mate, love like a sushi chef. Hopefully, you can accomplish this in less than ten years.
