Do you honestly enjoy the work you do? Are you at 'home' with your work? Do you wake up in the morning and groan, "Oh, not another day!" or do you get up with great excitement? Would you do what you spend most of your waking hours doing for free? Anyone that has ever been successful at anything loved what they did or are now doing. Every single one of them. Things may not have been easy, they may have faced many obstacles but they faced each one of them head on because they loved what they were doing. Do you love what you are doing?

When talent and passion collide, it creates unbelievable results. As a child, I was the annoying little kid who always wanted to know why. Now as an adult, I love finding the needle in the haystack that's why the data world is a perfect fit for me. Data will always be one of the few things that ring my bell. I enjoy discovering the exact reason why, while others scratch their heads in confusion. I love looking through millions of records to find the reasons for anomalies.

Passion is a very personal experience; something everyone must take the time to find. It also helps to find what you are really good at. When you start doing what you are gifted at and truly love; what you have a genuine passion for, you start to grow in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
