Do you do what you love? At least some of the time?

My friend forwarded me this article which I thought really nailed it on the head regarding finding something you love to do.  Here’s a quote.

“Always produce” is also a heuristic for finding the work you love. If you subject yourself to that constraint, it will automatically push you away from things you think you’re supposed to work on, toward things you actually like. “Always produce” will discover your life’s work the way water, with the aid of gravity, finds the hole in your roof.”

There certainly are a lot of questions, the same questions I have asked myself before, that I am asking myself again after reading the article.  How do I go about finding what I love to do?  How do I find something that give me the most enjoyment and money?  People say do what you love and everthing else will follow.  It’s wisdom that I question; what if I love doing something that I am not good at. 

Tens of thousands of people go on American Idol because they love to sing.  What if I am not good enough at anything to become the best at something?  There’s so much uncertainty, but maybe that’s the best part of it.  If I already knew, getting there won’t be as sweet.
