Think of a time when, as a direct result of something a leader said or did, you felt personally powerful and capable. Write down the actions the leader took that contributed to your feeling powerful, strong, capable, and effective - the master of your own experience. Be as specific as you can.
I watched the video clip of the speech made by Steve Jobs in Standford's graduation in 2009, and I was inspired by him a lot. He said: "Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did."
We spend the 2/3 of our life time working, why don't we choose what we love to do? Most people do what they don't really like to do because of money issue, timing, or no choice, so they complain, being upset, and being miserable at work, which doesn't help their life be easier or better. Maybe it is true that not everyone is lucky to find a job they love, but we can choose to work with positive mood, maybe eventually we will love what we do. If things can't be changed, then accept them.
Maybe the thing you are interested in doing doesn't make as much money as something else, but the enjoyment is not what you might get if you have no passion on it. If you love your job, the problem is not a problem anymore because it will be taken care of itself. If you haven't fount what you like to do yet, just try any possibility and never lose faith!
