Loving What You Do…Every Single Day!

The Key To Happiness

There are many different keys to success, but one that seems to stand out the most is loving what you do every single day. Some people find jobs based on their personal interests and some people find jobs because well…let’s face it, if it pays good then it sure helps pay the bills. However, these men listed below remind us that there is something extremely important about chasing after your passion, and turning your passion into your career. Otherwise, you will always be chasing emptiness.

Did you ever wonder how Pandora selects the music you listen to? If you’ve ever listened to music online, chances are that you’ve listened to music handpicked by this man…Justin “J Boogie” Boland is a musicologist. He has turned his one true love and, “craving,” as he puts it, into his career. Boland is a musicologist for Pandora, and gets to choose which songs are streamed and why. It seems like all fun and games, but there is a lot riding on this music genius’ choices. Not only does his reputation depend on it, he is also the potential catalyst for new artists to potentially make a name for themselves. Justin curates multiple genres of music for Pandora, including Hip Hop, R&B, Soul and Reggae.

It’s one thing to do what you love and become successful enough to earn a good living, but as UPROXX reminds us, sometimes doing what you love doesn’t mean making a lot of money. One of the greatest chefs in America, actually makes less money than his employees! Oh, and he works in a restaurant that’s actually hidden within another restaurant. That’s the definition of loving what you do.
