I quite agree that when we find ourselves doing things that we find difficult or distasteful in some way, there is always the opportunity to search out reasons to like the task. If we can find just one tiny seed of pleasure, we can nurture it and grow it into something much bigger.

Sometimes it’s our own attitude that needs to change, and not the place where we find ourselves.

Yes, there is a great difference between doing something and liking something practically but is a tough question if we ask self in lone. We know we must worship God but hearts does not want to do so due to our day and night activities.

History has proven this isn’t universally true. Some of the most passionate, successful people are those who have sacrificed many of their needs to push toward one all-encompassing goal.

But the bottom line remains: not everyone has the luxury of dropping everything and taking a massive risk right now. If you have a family, you may need to do extensive planning to transition to a new field. If you live paycheck-to-paycheck, you may need to overlap your current job with your passion in order to eventually make a living through the latter.

This may seem discouraging—or it could seem empowering if it motivates you to take an honest look at your current situation and make a plan based on what makes sense given your unique responsibilities and needs.
