How did you find passionate meaningful work?

Asked by limeaide (1921points) August 21st, 2009

I’m currently a Network Administrator. I’ve enjoyed my work for quite sometime and still do from time to time. I feel like my work is lacking passion and meaning. I’ve read a few books about finding your passion but so far they haven’t helped. I’ve also read books about gratitude for what I do have, etc… but still would like more.

I understand there aren’t any jobs that will be fun 100% of the time, but I’d like to find something I could feel passionate about or felt was more meaningful.

A big issue for me is that I enjoy almost everything to an extent. Areas that stick out the most would be music, technology, science, psychology, research, problem solving….....

I feel as though I have an entrepreneurial spirit and would be a great business owner/operator but still I don’t know what the business would be.

I have a family and need to keep a good income, I’m currently the bread winner and my wife is a stay at home mom.

Are there any processes that you’ve gone through that when done it was like you had an epiphany and knew exactly what you were going to do next?
