I struggle with motivation problems at work because I'm not passionate about what my company does (hope my boss isn't reading this). I have a great work environment with a great boss, good co-workers, excellent benefits and vacation and reasonable pay, but I have very little passion. In the evenings I come home and I have trouble dragging myself away from the work I'm doing for my church to go to bed. Sometimes the work is not all that different than what I do for my employer, but I love to do it because I'm passionate for the cause. Skill is important, but without passion, skill isn't worth much. Skill doesn't bring passion. If you have passion but little skill, passion will bring the skill. Jim,

You and I have a lot in common. I struggle with motivation problems at work because I’m not passionate about what my company does (hope my boss isn’t reading this). I have a great work environment with a great boss, good co-workers, excellent benefits and vacation and reasonable pay, but I have very little passion.

Skill is important, but without passion, skill isn’t worth much. Skill doesn’t bring passion. If you have passion but little skill, passion will bring the skill.

Maybe you should get a blog of your own to expand on these thoughts you have. Surprisingly, you remind me of my friend who hangs out around here, who we refer to as Non-Blog Brad. Perhaps you 2 can get together and share the responsibility of writing a blog on things such as this........just a thought. Nice observation, Br... errr, I mean Mr. Presley.

It's already there inside, but the person may just not know it. Knowing your own personality may help you find what you're passionate about.
