Do You Love Your Work? My Journey to Finding Passion & Purpose

For years, I believed that a fulfilling career came from checking the right boxes. Climbing the ladder, achieving milestones, and staying busy felt like signs of success. If my calendar was full, I assumed I was on the right track.

Then one day, I asked myself: Do I actually love my work?

That moment of reflection changed everything. I realized that success is not about how much you do. It is about why you do it. The real key to career fulfillment is alignment between purpose, passion, and daily actions.

What I Discovered About Loving Your Work

Purpose is the Foundation

I started by identifying what truly mattered to me. Helping people navigate change and reclaim their time became my guiding principle. Purpose provides direction and keeps you focused even when challenges arise.

Passion Comes from Progress

I used to think passion was something you either had or did not. Over time, I realized that passion grows as you see the impact of your work. Watching someone simplify their life or gain clarity during a transition reminds me why I do what I do.

Alignment Creates Fulfillment

Loving your work does not mean every day is exciting or that challenges disappear. It means your values, skills, and daily efforts are in sync with your bigger vision. When that alignment happens, work stops feeling like a grind and starts feeling like a calling.

Your Career, Your Passion

As we celebrate love this month, take a moment to reflect:

• What fuels your passion?

• What is your deeper purpose?

• How can you create more alignment in your work?

When passion, purpose, and alignment come together, work stops being something you do and becomes something you love.
