Do you like the things you do?

Do you feel like you don't get enough out of your job?

No, I'm not sure where to start when I try to figure out what I love.

Passion and purpose are not the same thing, but they are very close. Passion is about how much you love what you do, and purpose is about why you do it. Both are important for success.

Check out the following books for ideas on how to live a more passionate and meaningful life! They would make you want to do work that you enjoy.

Fearless Passion by Yong Kang Chan

For me, finding your passion is a process of finding out about yourself. It's not a simple process. It's not something that you figure out and can't change.

Do it and see if it's what you want to do. This book shows how I went from being an accountant to becoming an animator. Instead, I became a writer and a tutor. If something doesn't feel right to you, you can always change it.

This is how the book starts. Most people don't start with why; they start with what they want to do first. But when we don't know why we do what we do, the work doesn't have any value.

There is something missing from your life, and this book can help you get back in touch and get your passion back.

The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn

"There are no jobs that aren't important, just people who don't feel important when they do their jobs."

That kind of book doesn't exist in this book. It talks about how to find your passion or purpose. In fact, it is a book about business and how to lead. That's not why this book is on the list, though. It shows that passion and purpose don't have to be big. A simple thing like going to the post office can be enough.

The first story is about a postman named Fred, and how the author met him. Freden likes his job, so he took the time to get to know his new customer, too. He did more than he was paid for.

In some ways, "delivering a letter can be a job!" If you don't have a lot of passion for your job, read this book. It makes you think about what your passion is.
