Meant to do

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

Believe in this. Now in my 38th year of living, I can attest that this is not only true, it is essential. When you work doing what you fell most comfortable doing, what brings you the most satisfaction, and what makes the "time go by quickly", you bring a light into the world that others respond to as well. When I worked a job that I was not well suited for, I was tired, sad, and didn't have the energy to be myself ......for my family nor my friends. I withdrew from hobbies I loved for lack of energy, I was grumpy towards my kids, and I made bad decisions in relationships. Now, I am working 3 part time jobs~ a triune!~ and that makes all sides of me equally strong.
I had a college professor tell the students in our class that we shouldn't beat ourselves up if we have to work a job that we don't love that pays well for a few years just to do what needs to be done, get to another goal, take care of the family, etc. we need to make sure that some of the extra $$ is spent doing things that does bring joy, love and light. sooooooo, if that is you , you'd better take heed. Then, keep holding out hope that that aforementioned dream job/s will come your way if you visualize and pray for it/them.
