Finding the Joy

“Do what you love.”

Good advice, right? A path to being happier is to fill your life with the activities that you enjoy, and subtract the ones you don’t.

I’m intrigued by another approach: finding joy in whatever you do.

You know that classic trick of overcoming boredom by making a dull activity into a game? That’s one way to find joy. The big shift is in the perception.

Trying to do more of what you love is fine. But loving what you do works too. Sometimes even better.
