Confucius once said, “Do what you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This might seem like a saying school kids read aloud in morning assemblies, but they’re actually words to live by. Here’s why you should do what you love for a living.

Just think about it. No more Monday Morning Blues, no more cribbing, no more career crises; just one long, fulfilling ride brimming of awesomeness.

2. Striking out by yourself or doing your own thing is risky. But spending your life doing something you hate is a bigger risk.

Which risk would you rather take?
