What's your beat?

  " Work hard and you will be successful " was my fathers childhood advice to me. I can still hear his words ringing in my head. You may have heard the same from your grandparents or parents. However, they were all partially right. 

   Right time, right roles. These two factors when in sync brings forth the question- are we doing what we love? I work a minimum of 10 hours a day and wonder if the duration of my work equates my passion and balances my life leaving me content. For the hundredth time , you drag yourself out of bed and yet another mundane day at work has passed by. It's been 7 years for me and if success depends on the number of hours I've spent at work, then I've made it already! Very soon you might mock hardwork being a noble goal in itself. So... 

  I may be passionate but am I "passionately curious"? Why am I not content? Is this my beat? How do I get started with something of my own that I love? Without asking the right questions your passion and talent may drive you towards the wrong direction. 

  Another aspect is when one is in a relationship, it makes you struggle with balancing your work and life with your partner. If your not in one, your struggling with wanting to attract "the love". According to those universal laws mentioned in The Secret we are supposed to " feel love" to attract it. Thus if I'm not loving what I do or feel love ( nearly) each day does it mean it's an impossible to acquire it? This leaves me with no option than to fake it till I make it. My heart doesn't agree and my quest to find me beat continues.....
