Passion vs. Purpose vs. Money

I know that I am not alone. There must be others out there like me who are career jumpers. Passions swirling, Mind is buzzing, the perfect job must be out there somewhere right?

Right now I am in the middle of a "job transition." It's my two year itch. I have always been a worker, thrive on chaos, live for continual challenges. Bottom line definition: I get bored easily if not constantly stimulated. And I am not afraid to admit it. To me it is better than settling, better than comfortable with the current situation at hand. I enjoy opportunities. I enjoy challenges. I enjoy change.

Realization:
Lets call it an unstable, slightly volatile, walk on egg shells economy. Not such a great time to be (soul) job searching/career changing.

But wait, last night on the news, I know you saw it too...the advice was to focus on improving the skills that you have, or work on skills that you think you need. This is the time...this is the time to work on YOU. I knew I was always 6 months ahead of the curve. :)

SO as I sit on my comfy couch, slippers on and my shedding pottery barn blanket on my lap, I ponder...

PASSION vs. PURPOSE vs. MONEY

(Thanks to my dear friend Pete for our talk about passion vs. purpose...just thought for me I needed to throw in the money piece)

What does this mean?
I want to do what I love, I want to do something that gives me a purpose, and of course I want to make money doing it!!

Please tell me that I am not alone....Thoughts? Comments?
