Almost everyone I know can be filed in one of three categories. They either love their job, are great at their job, or both. I don't feel like I fit into any of these and it frustrates me.
I like my job, but I definetly don't love it. It isn't my "passion" as you hear so many people say. I'm also not great at it. I'm decent enough. I get my work done and I do the best I can, but I'm not one of those people that has "it", whatever it is.
I would just really like to be able to come home from work for the day and be able to honestly say either that I loved the work I did that day, or that I was one of the best at what I did that day. Preferrably both.
My wife for instance, is a teacher. She really loves her job, and she is great at it. Most of the incoming parents request her to be their kid's teacher and her principle has definetly shown that he believes her to be one of the best teachers he has. I really want that for myself, and I know that not everyone can have it, but I have been thinking about it a lot lately.
I am "good" at a lot of different things, but I am not great at any one thing. I really feel that if I was just a little better at one thing that I did, that I could turn that into something, but so far I have been just "good" at everything I've tried.
I keep feeling like sometime soon I'm going to discover that one thing that I'm great at, but I have been feeling like that for a long time. I'm sure a lot of people feel like this, but few of the people around me do which of course just makes me think about it more.
I might be a Jack of all trades, but I'm sure feeling like a joker.
