Does loving your job mean loving every aspect?

Lots of experts tell you the only of the only way you'll be fulfilled professionally is to work with something you're passionate about.  I'm one of those.  But does that mean that every aspect you're going to be passionate about?


Of course not.  I'll be the first to tell you I live and love what I am doing. In fact I think it's why God put me on this earth, and how he intended for me to make a difference.  I can also say there are elements that I am not passionate about. 


I could care less for planning logistics or micromanaging certain financial elements.  Are these elements critical to my success? Absolutely in terms of the big picture, and the big picture is what I focus on because it's my passion. 


I'm now different that way than anyone else who is succeeding in their passion. Where people get in trouble, and never wind up following through, is they believe that they must be passionate about every area of the business. 


They set themselves up to fail with that mentality before they ever begin.  Consequently, most never even take the first step towards working in their passion.  For the rest that do take action they either focus on the big picture and succeed, or they caught up in the minutia that doesn't drive them and then quit. 


Do you want to succeed and be fulfilled long term professionally?  Of course. Understand up front that your focus must be on the big picture outcome and not get caught up in the few items you don't like.
