Mary’s Minute
“If you’re crazy enough to do what you love for a living,
then you’re bound to create a life that matters.”
~ Herb Kelleher
Herb Kelleher not only loved what he did for a
living, he loved the company and the people with whom he worked. Herb was the long-time President of Southwest
Airlines and is credited with making Southwest the fun airline. Herb recently passed away, but leaves a
legacy of being passionate about what you do.
I have always felt very fortunate to love what
I do for a living. It seems pretty easy
to love what you do when you work with great people and are driven by a mission
of helping children. It is neat to think
that a natural by-product of loving what you do, is creating a life that
matters.
Then again, maybe it is not that you love what
you do that allows you to make a difference, but because you make a difference
it is easier to love what you do. The
chicken or the egg isn’t important, but the exciting part is that they do go
together.
I always told my own children how important it
is to find a job you love. I also always
told them that they had an obligation to make the world a better place. Now I realize that the two are connected! How cool is that? Find a job you love and make a
difference! Or is it make a difference,
and you are sure to love what you do?
Have a great week!
Mary
