Confucius lied when he said, “Choose a job that you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” It was a lie 2,500 years ago when he said it, and it’s a lie now. Choose a job you love and your work will bleed into your personal life. Sometimes to the point where you’ll struggle differentiating the two.
The truth is, if you choose a job you love, you’ll end up working harder than you ever have worked before. To love your job, oftentimes, is to be consumed by it. And this has proven to be true with most people I know who love what they do, including myself.
