Mike Rowe, Dirty Jobs, And Passion

Being passionate
about anything is a choice.

I’ve done some yucky tasks
in my life
(mucking out barns in the spring,
moving overflowing outhouses,
telemarketing).
I could have been grumpy
while completing these tasks
but that wouldn’t have changed anything
except it would have punished myself
and everyone around me.
I choose to be cheerful.

In September’s
Men’s Health,
Mike Rowe,
host of Dirty Jobs,
shares

“Passion is important,
but why would you follow it?

Bring the passion with you
wherever you go.”

Passion comes from YOU,
not the task you’re completing.
It’s a decision you make.
