Not In Love With Your Job? Change It.

What's that saying: If you don't love something let it go? Well, that may not be the exact verbiage but you get the gist. If you don't love what you're doing from 9 to 5 five days a week then something's got to give. Try thinking back to when you started and why you started. If it was out of necessity and not passion we get it, but maybe after all these years, you deserve to be driven by what truly drives you. Food for thought.
