If I learned one thing by playing professional hockey for thirty-two years, it's that you have to love what you do. And that's not just true for sports.
The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
Work requires effort. Things we love to do feel effortless. Only do the things you love and you'll never have to work again.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
It shouldn't just be about money. It should be about loving what you do.
I think I'm a workaholic, but I'm a workaholic that is loving his work.
You've got to love what you do. You've got to like doing it, because it is a lot of your life.
Having constant supporters and people who are always there and always giving back and knowing that they're loving what you're doing is always awesome to see.
I feel really lucky that I'm able to pursue the work that I love. I want my children to see that. I want them to have that for themselves, something that they love, that they do, that they pursue in their lives as a way of growing and learning.
It's great if you can find what you love to do. Finding it is one thing, but then to be able to practise that and be preoccupied with that is another.
Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.
You know, I think I'm more of a micro-person, so to me, the context and the framework of trying to do what you love and feel passionate about, in supporting your family in that way, is the most important thing to me.
I think the foremost quality - there's no success without it - is really loving what you do. If you love it, you do it well, and there's no success if you don't do well what you're working at.
There's no downside to traveling the world and making money. I'm doing something I love. A lot of people have sucky jobs, but I have a good one, and I'm not trying to lose it any time soon.
I came from a family that loved what they did every day, and they never stopped.
We actors are fortunate people, getting paid to do what we love - it's like getting paid to eat cake! There isn't much to complain about. In fact, on the days I have an off, I'm constantly telling my friends how I want to be on the sets because I miss it already.
Those people who spend their time working on things they love are usually the ones enjoying life the most. They are also the ones who dared to take a risk and chase their dreams.
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Many times, you have to sacrifice the paycheck for doing what you love.
What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.
My job is never boring. It's always new, exciting, and challenging, and I get a rush every time I go to work. I'm the luckiest person on the planet to be able to do what I love for a living.
Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.
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 don't get tired of my work because you can't get tired of something you love and enjoy! But, having said that, I wish to get a break of four to five days, or at least three days, switch off my cell phone, and do what I want to.
I sort of cringe when I hear myself say the word 'work.' Getting to do something you love to do never really feels like work.
