I came across an article titled Be passionate about work: No job change required in my Twitter timeline today. It tries to answer a very basic question–how does one work on things he/she is passionate about everyday? Do they search for that calling or do we simply try to change the context of our current job to make it seem less boring.
I realized that I am very lucky in that aspect. For the past 6 years I’ve been working at a place that I love. Doing things that I love. I found Cactus in 2007 through a friend–and I’ll always remain thankful to him for it. And today this place is as much mine as it is my CEOs who founded the company. It is not a place where I work, it a place where I do what I enjoy doing–sadly there is no word for it.
Here, I don’t have to dichotomize work and what my passions really are. I don’t have to wait till the fag end of the day or the weekends to do what I like doing. My passions don’t remain tucked away under the folds until the time is right for me to play with them. I can do what I love every single day.
Amazing isn’t it?
