Jamie Hinds The Time to be Happy is Now, the Place to be Happy is Here.
How I did it: I knew right out of highschool that working with people was something I wanted to do. Being a caring individual, I wanted to help people find solutions for their problems. I also love cars and all things mechanical; so being an automotive service advisor was such a perfect fit for me. Sometimes it is hard, but for the most part it is the best career path.

How I did it: Don't give up on something you really want. Keep trying, because it is up to you to make things happen. Also, surround yourself with the kind of people that encourage you, and get rid of the people that don't believe in you. Read how I did it…

The problem is not finding what I’m passionate about, it’s that there are just too many things! I have jumped around trying out new activities and jobs, but every time I start to get really good at something, I tend to overdue it and burn out due to my “all or nothing, 110%” personality. I’ve (hopefully) learned from my mistakes by now, and so just need to choose something and stick with it no matter what. Here’s my all encompassing list of what I enjoy the most and could find meaningful doing:
- Renewable energy
- Endurance sports/health & fitness
- SCUBA diving
- Surfing
- Hospitality
- Travel writer
The biggest hurdle I have at the moment comes in the form of finances (like most). I have a lot of debt from school, as I intended to have a career in my degree to pay it off. Do I work to pay it off at a less than ideal job, and then make a jump to my true passion? Or do I spiral further into debt and take a chance that my passion will eventually get me a meaningful income to become debt free?
rvmc We love because it is the only true adventure.
I’m still not sure how. So I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing for now, I guess.
Pretty much the only work I’m passionate about is volunteer work. sigh
When I was younger I wanted to be a singer. I went to university to be a primary/elementary teacher but quit. Then I went to college and completed the Office Adminstration program. I now have a full time permanent job in an office. Some days I like this job, other days I’m bored to tears and desperately want something more challenging. I am lucky enough to be able to take one university course for free every term. I’m slowly working towards a Criminology certificate but is that what I really want? Who knows? Not me. Even though I have a permanent job I will not be in this position until I retire. By the way, I’m 23 and have been working at this job for less than 2 years. I feel like I’m meant to do something else, I just don’t know what that something else is yet. I can’t take the risk to leave my job until I know exactly what I want. I don’t know when that will be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I hate my job because I don’t. I just don’t look forward to going to work anymore. Oh my…..

I suppose I should be more specific in this. My day job isn’t awful – it’s boring and repetitive, but it makes me enough to live on, and my work environment is pretty great. The problem is it feels meaningless, and I want my days to be spent in a way that feeds my soul as well as my bank account. Writing could be that thing, but there’s so much pressure involved in publishing that I’m not sure I could (or would want to) write full time without losing my love for it. I have this feeling, deep down, that there’s something I should be doing—Work as well as work.
Would be nice to find something that challenged me and I looked forwarded to doing every day.

i have concluded that this is the greatest book ever written. i’m not talking great literature, but i am talking about philosophy. reading it makes me feel like what i want to do (say screw it all) is truly possible.

I am a mentor to youth offenders. It is rewarding knowing I have helped a young person improve their lives, have better self esteem and build bridges with the love ones they sometime hurt. The best part of all is helping them to see that a life of crime is no life and that they do have choices.
