· Volunteer your time.
· Offer to teach young people
· Passion can be found in work.
· Passion can continue after work.
Throughout my career I was fortunate to be asked to get involved with and serve on a variety of non-profit boards. Each one was different, and they all exposed me to the benefits of contributing time and energy to groups that were grateful for the assistance. When I left the gaming business, I was even more fortunate to be able to teach young hospitality students at the University level and held ex-felons successfully re-enter family, work, and society. Those also rounded me out with even more important perspectives. I’m often asked about what people should do with their lives during and after careers and I my answer is always to get involved in things you’re passionate about. Whether you love your job or not, it’s great to find extracurricular (or post retirement) things you’ve always thought about and offer to get involved. It really is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution, and it usually leads to happiness and fulfillment. Broaden your horizons by contributing your time to things you’re passionate about today.
