What do you do if...

[Ricky]

You're really good at one thing, people recognize and respect that you have a natural talent for it, you're enriching lives and bringing people joy and you find it somewhat easy to do...and you even enjoy doing it a little.

BUT,

you're heart is in something else, but its something you never really got the same type of love or any type of recognition at all, and you dont know if you ever will.

 

[Lordhooters]

Follow your heart, never mind the recognition. If you aren't truly happy with what you do, you will never put your whole heart into it.

Don't pay attention to what people have to say, just do what you want, make yourself happy.

 

[Kristian4th]

You shouldn't live to please other people, do what makes you truly happy.

 

[blazinfasstt]

I would say do what you really want to do
recognition and praise are big re-enforcers though.
you may find your missing something if you abandon one for the other.

nothing says you cant do both at the same time.

or, be like the zohan and make hair silky smooth

 

[SuF]

Live for yourself, not for others.

 

[iMattJ]

Go for what you love man!!!!!!

 

[malakadang]

So basically heres an example.

Your an outstanding basketball player, and everyone knows it.
However you REALLY REALLY love football, however you know you'll never be that good at it, and will never be recognized as good at it.

If thats the dilemma your in:

Then SuF summed it up perfectly.

 

[Hayd3nrox]

Maybe try to balance the two?
