Matt Haig Quotes

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.

When you get to do things you love with every fiber of your being, it's a different experience.

You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.

I'm grateful for every chance I get to do something I love and have a passion for.

I want to live a full life - period.

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

The only thing that's important is that every day I'm waking and doing something that I really love to do.

Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth, success, accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.

I would like my kids to follow their bliss.

I'm absolutely doing what I enjoy.

I'm okay with not having a super-secure lifestyle because if you're doing what you like, you don't need stuff to fill any empty holes.

No matter what you achieve, what you want to aspire to be, or how famous and powerful you become, the most important thing is whether you are excited about each and every moment of your life because of your work and people around you.

I'm really happy to be able to live my life doing what I love.

I never wanna lose the joy, passion, or even appreciation for how much fun it is to do what I love.

I learned from my parents that you have to get pleasure out of what you're doing, or don't do it.

Do what brings you joy, and your purpose will unfold.

Retiring isn't even a word I'd understand. Taking what makes you feel alive, and everyone's looking for ways of making them feel alive, in whatever they do - relationships, business or work - and not just being a voice for a money making business.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.

I live art, I respect people, and I've found what I want to do in life - I've found what makes me happy.

I believe that if you don't derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don't come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don't feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste.

If you make money, you might not make meaning.

It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness.

If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.

I have a lot of friends who get up most mornings and go to jobs they absolutely hate. I don't think that's what life is about and I'm so fortunate that I actually love what I do.
