Growing up I used to worry ALL THE TIME that I wouldn’t find the one thing I was good at. In my head if I wasn’t going to the Olympics and I wasn’t famous than I had totally failed at finding my passion. Luckily as I grew older I realized that there were other professional avenues in which I could find my passion, and I would say that in my current job I am extremely passionate about the work I get to do.
But I know a lot of Millennials who are still afraid they may never find their passion. I know Millennials who want to save the world, and I also know Millennials who don’t want to settle into a job before they discover their calling.
Today after I ate at Mighty Fine Burgers, I was browsing their website and took a look at the culture section. One of their core values is “Choose your attitude- Learn to love what you do even if you aren’t doing what you love.”
I love that value, and I think it’s one Millennials should adopt. You don’t necessarily have to find your passion this second. Just because you have graduated from college it doesn’t mean you have to do something you love today. It also doesn’t mean that you should stop looking for your passion. In fact, you should always be looking for ways to do the things you love, but if you don’t have it figured out this second try to learn to love what you do anyway.
(Also, thanks to Hilary and Andria for taking me to Mighty Fine for the first time today. Amazinggg burgers and shakes.)
