[Leadership/Religion] Jobs vs Careers

Passion, purpose, and meaning are what separate jobs and careers. For instance, if you want to be a painter by profession but you got an accounting degree because it was safe and you are now an account, I would call that a job but if you are a painter and you are out there painting your heart out and loving then I call that a career. I understand sometimes we do things to put food on the table that we don’t necessary like but I would hope that is the exception and not the rule with you and that it is only temporary.

If God puts it on your heart to become a world class surgeon, to be a stay at home parent, to write a book, etc, do it and be awesome at it because you will make an impact on someone else’s life by following what God lays out for you. No matter how large or small, never be afraid or hesitant in pursuing your passion and what will make you happy regardless of what others may think. Remember, all things are possible with God so be courageous in pursuing him.
