If there is one productive activity that you are naturally inclined or even driven to do when you have nothing to do, then THAT might be your ideal career!
The question is, “What do you do when you have nothing to do?”
Here’s an extreme example, from Mr Warren Buffett himself. He says, “Some men read Playboy, I read annual reports.”
First of all, I resent his accusatory tone, I need to relax once in a while. Just kidding.
What about you? What do you like to do?
Parents often advise their kids to “do what they love.” Perhaps a better question is, “What do you love to practice?”
To practice is the same as “doing”, except that you tend to get better and better at it.
So for example, you CANNOT practice “eating ice cream”! But you CAN practice public speaking or designing clothes or coaching someone or writing or singing or acti ng, etc.
The bottom line is that if you choose a line of work where you can’t help but do it, that is, it feels natural for you to do it, then you’ve hit the jackpot and will never have to work a single day in your life!
Not only will work feel like play, but also no one can stop you as you pursue your dream career. That’s because you can’t even stop yourself. Such is the power of an ideal career!
