If you stop to consider all the things people do on a daily basis in the pursuit of happiness, most would agree that what you do for a living plays a pivotal role in the achievement of that deeply desirable state known as – fulfillment. Since the average person spends approximately 1/3 of their life at work, it’s easy to understand why the way you earn your living matters – in a big way.

In fact, it matters so much, that several career assistance organizations have conducted research studies to determine which jobs in the workplace today are the most fulfilling. It’s no surprise that the jobs that ranked the highest in the studies involved helping others in some way. Jobs in the medical field – doctors, nurses, medical assistants – all ranked predictably high on the fulfillment aspect.

So, what is it that makes a job fulfilling or unfulfilling? Money, stress level, and work-life balance are certainly some of the factors to consider. However, there are 3 things to consider before you decide to settle for the career path.

  1. Turning your passion into your job is easier than finding a job that matches your passion.
  2. It’s easier to find a way to make money at something you love, than to learn to love a job you can make money at.
  3. The best way to do great work is to love what you do.

After all, your purpose in life Is not to find a job, but to find what you love and do it with all your heart. And if you agree with the 3 observations above, doing that not only increases your chances at a fulfilling career you can be excited about, it also increases your chance of finding success by doing what you love for a living.
