Happiness, Work, or Both?

Why is it that people settle their dreams just to achieve a certain salary? Have we become so emerged in money that we can't live without it? That we won't be able to live without it. Waking up every morning excited to go to work is what we should dream for, it's what allows us to live. Happiness is something people attempt to purchase with things, but having an occupation that you absolutely love -without a doubt- can make you happy. We should believe in what we do and have a passion for it. In some situations it's difficult to determine whether or not you will be capable of living on you're dream job but if you want it enough, it's possible. We all get to the point where we have to decide what we want, but for me - I want to wake up every morning, just to go to work with a smile on my face. I want to love to work.
