Love What You Do and Money Will Follow
by Enjoy what you do, especially if it’s for a living, because surely money will simply flow your way despite the struggles and difficulties sometimes encountered.
It is true indeed, that when you love what you do, no matter what happens, money will surely follow. I hope I’m not making it sound like a nonsense, but truly, I’ve experience it myself.
I’ve been a quality assurance tester for two years now; and still the fulfillment with my work never fades. I enjoy what I do and despite the challenges and difficulties encountered, it simply pass me by without so much of a damage.
As a matter of fact, last 2008, the company I’ve previously worked for, like any other struggling company, have experienced the toll of recession. As a result, many employees were laid-off and I was one of them. I should have been miserable because of what happened, but I didn’t think of it that way. I empowered myself by updating my resume and went on crazy submitting them on-line.
Believe it or not, I was hired in no time after being laid-off, by a much bigger company, situated in a much bigger city which I believe has much more opportunities waiting to be tackled. The best thing happened: I was hired as a quality assurance tester! No doubt that I was very much thankful. I didn’t go into the trouble of demoting my skills and experience to get back on the career journey like most laid-off employee would do.
I don’t know what you call it: being lucky; positive thinking; good karma. But one thing is clear for me: love what you do and money will surely follow. I am one of those living witnesses that when you simply enjoy whatever means of living you have, money is so easy~!

Also if you enjoy what you do.. the money wont really be an issue.
I worked for 5 years at an animal shelter. It was minimum wage. I worked part time, and yet I managed to make ends meet because the job was more important to me than the money. If the job is rewarding – you do not need external things to feel good about your life.
