Finding Your Passion Outside of Work

In many of my Business Management classes there is always talk about finding a career that you are passionate about and one that relates to your purpose in life. I understand that this will make your work-life balance much easier but at the same time I think this can cause you neglect things externally from work if you do truly love what you do. I personally have always looked at a job as a way to get money which then allows me to do the things I love with the people in my life that mean the most to me. This is most likely a very biased response based of where I am in my life being a senior in collage but I do not see this view changing anytime soon. I personally don't think your job should be your purpose or passion because then it becomes your whole life and the last thing I would want is for my job to takeover the things I really do enjoy. I ideally want to work in the healthcare industry because I enjoy the thought of helping others even though I am not on the clinical side of the operations. I also want to be in management for this same reasons to help people below me, and to also lead others to a common goal. This sounds like something I would enjoy but by no means is this a passion or my purpose. I believe my purpose in life comes externally to a job, and is more family and relationship oriented. This is why i think life is more important to find things outside of work that truly let you enjoy your life. For me I have always been competitive and loved sports and I plan on playing sports until I physically can not. Specifically Ultimate Frisbee has a community which is a ton of fun and I have played against people in their 60's. Frisbee it self is not my passion but just being competitive with a team while also having fun.
