Find Your Dream Job and Never Work a Day in Your Life

Many of us know the phrase, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Although it's a nice sentiment, I don't think it's accurate. From my experience, I know that any job done well requires hard work, and that's precisely what sets it apart from jobs performed with mediocrity, comfortably within our comfort zone.

Most of the team members at TQR have been in the staffing business for a decade or more. We’ve seen many different types of jobs at all levels of an organization, and as far as we can tell, there is no such thing as a dream job. Here lies the irony of it all. If it's easy to do, it won’t be fulfilling. If it's challenging, it will be difficult but fulfilling, and as humans, we spend a lot of our time and energy avoiding pain in the short term, missing the big picture.

Every moment of every day, with each task you undertake, you choose ease or the fulfillment and sense of accomplishment that comes from challenging yourself, pushing your limits, doing your best, and expecting more from yourself.

True accomplishment arises from surpassing your perceived limits and growing each day, even slightly from who you were the day before. It's not merely about success or failure; it's about pushing past your comfort zone to reach your fullest potential—that's the reality you shape, and that's your dream job, though it requires effort.
