I agree with you that work will never make any sense until you discover your passion. Uncovering this will take some time. True story: in the past I've put off doing the things I love (for practical reasons). Now I'm rediscovering the joys of pursuing my passion, the things I love doing. I've also been blessed with another chance to pursue them. Regards, Carlos Kennette:

I'd also like to add the importance of getting clear on what makes you happy. What gets you excited? What do you enjoy doing for hours on end? What things do you enjoy so much, you'd do them even if you didn't get paid? What work or activities did you previously enjoy, but rarely do now (this includes looking at what you enjoyed in your childhood)? Answering these questions requires both introspective and retrospective thinking. It really boils down to finding work you love. Until you discover your passion, work will never make sense. Take the time to discover what works best for you, and everyday will be a great workday. Until I took the time to discover my passion, I was always losing interest in the work I did. Now, I wake up everyday with excitement and new ideas. It's a wonderful feeling.
