In honor of Labor Day, I wanted to take a moment to share with you a few of my favorite quotes that relate to doing what you love:

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
: Henry David Thoreau

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that…I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it.
: John Lennon

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
: John Lennon

I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
: Madonna

No woman is required to build the world by destroying herself.
: Rabbi Sofer

When you love what you’re doing, you’re not working.
: Henri Cartier-Bresson

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
: Julia Cameron

Leap and the net will appear.
: John Burroughs

Follow your bliss and doors will open where there were no doors before.
: Joseph Campbell

Hate what you’re doing? Have an unrealized dream career? I have two recommendations:

1. GigZig your current job at PayScale to see what you could be doing in five years
2. Pick up a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and work the program in the book.

Happy Labor Day.
