"You can fail in life doing the things you hate, so you might as well take a chance doing what you love." - Jim Carrey When it comes to pursuing your passion, people often think that you need to decide between making a living, and doing what you love. The reality is that not only can you have both, but if you’re going to live a life of fulfillment, it’s actually necessary to do so. However, that doesn’t mean that it will be easy - especially if you’re stuck in a dead-end job, or you aren’t even sure what else you’d like to do with your life. In today’s episode of Impact Theory, you’ll get answers to some of the most common questions about transitioning from an unfulfilling career to one that excites you - without sacrificing financial stability in the process. Whether you’re suited for entrepreneurship, or would do better as a linchpin in an organization you believe in, you’ll be surprised at just how universally applicable the tools and tactics are for getting unstuck and turning your passion into a full-time career.

QUOTES: “There is no success big enough that you can stand in that success, and that it will last forever.” [00:52] “The problem fundamentally is that life is an ever changing rollercoaster of emotion, and the name of the game is to manage those emotions well.” [03:34] “Because I know that I can always slow down and take a step back, I never get overwhelmed. And because of that, I'm able to keep going and keep performing. But if I just tried to run in the red all the time, then I would stop having fun. I would not want to do it anymore, and I would give up.” [13:26] “As you figure out what that business is going to be that you're growing, make sure that it's something that you would love doing every day, even if you were failing.” [17:01] “Don't buy into a narrative that you need to run your own business or that you need to be an entrepreneur or anything like that. What you want to figure out is, where will you love existing? Where can you chase fulfillment the hardest? Where can you engage with your passions most deeply? That's the question.” [25:07] “If you can't say in a single sentence what really fills your tank, what gives you that energy, what makes you feel alive… if you can't say that in a single sentence, you're in trouble.” [26:42]
