Work vs. Working

Do you enjoy your job?

I absolutely love my job. I get to teach, coach and mentor others. There is nothing better than knowing that you are making a difference. Being that person that someone else can rely on for anything, talk to about anything.

You know that saying, “You’ll never work a day in your life if you love what you do”? That’s how I feel about my job. There hasn’t been a day since I started this job, that I felt like I was actually “working.”

I always dreamt of being a hospice nurse or nursing home administrator. I never saw myself being a Human Resources Director or Staffing Coordinator. I started this job with not one second of HR experience. My superiors saw something in me that I didn’t and gave me all of the tools and support that I needed to succeed.

I always knew that I wanted to be in the medical field. I worked as an aide in nursing facilities for 10 years and while I loved what I was doing then, I knew when it was time to branch out and try something new.

Finding a career, something that you love doing, something that makes you excited to get up and go to work, is not easy. When you do find that job that makes you feel that way, it really doesn’t seem like much of a “job” at all. It feels like a purpose.
