Ask any motivational coach or any other person about the secret to happiness and success, and you will usually get a common answer: do what you truly love. Unfortunately, this is not very easy to do since not everyone can afford to go after their dreams. But is it really impossible to do so? 

Most people would rather forget about their dreams because they just have to settle for a desk job that pays. As a matter of fact, most people would automatically look for desk jobs in order to pay their bills and other loans, instead of looking for something that they really like doing. But if you look at the happiest people, you will discover that they are actually doing something that they love. These people spend a lot of time focusing on the things that they really believe in with passion and vigor. Just look around and you will find a few people who are truly happy because they are pursuing their life’s passions. 

But what can you really do if you also do not know what it is that you want to do in your life? If you really do not know what your dream is, you have to spend some time thinking and reflecting over it. Others would even seek for the advice of a motivational coach to help them find their real direction in life. You have to do a lot of thinking because discovering your dream is your first step towards making it a reality. 

What are the activities or hobbies that you really love doing? This can be anything that you do in your spare time, such as writing poetry or short stories, making music, spending some time in volunteer groups and organizations. If you really like doing these things without thinking about the monetary returns, chances are, these are your life’s passions. Just give it a little bit of thought and find out whether your life is truly destined for these activities. 

What kind of environment do you truly enjoy? Are you the type of person who is very happy working inside the office or workplace? Do you thoroughly enjoy your current workstation, or would you rather go outside and work outdoors? This is definitely something that you should think about because your working environment will play a huge part in your success. If you do not really like to be confined in a single workstation, you should look for a job that allows you to go outside and see different places. Otherwise, you will eventually feel suffocated if you just force yourself to work inside the office for several hours each day. 

Also, there is no need to quit your job if you are really not comfortable with it. You can always spend all your spare time doing those extra activities, such as after work or during weekends. Just remember that you have to live a well-balanced life in order to be happy and successful. Surround yourself with the things that you love, and do the things that you love doing to be able to live the dream.
