Most of us are taught from a young age to pursue a profitable career. This choice often comes to the detriment of following our passions, and it’s really hard to practice being happy in a job we don’t love.
Getting motivated and focused on chasing your dreams and purpose – even though they might change with time – is really the key to a balanced life. We only have a limited time on this earth and it matters how we spend it. Dedicating eight hours per day to something we don’t enjoy doing drains our energy and actually shortens our lifespan.
My guest, Zack, knows all about doing what you’re passionate about, although that was not always the case. In today’s episode, we discuss the importance for children and teenagers of having career advisors early on that can steer them to the path they want to truly follow. He also talks about accepting that our passions may change and we should embrace and follow the new ones with more resiliency.
