Some people have a gift for something in life and are lucky to recognize it early on. Other people go through the frustrating trial and error process and never really figure out what they are good at.
Psychologists from oprah.com talk about how people seem to dig around trying to find their passion, instead of removing doubt, and paying attention to your true desires. We often run from our passion or plain ignore it because it isn't what we know and humans just don't like change. We make excuse after excuse and eventually life runs out and we never get the opportunity to shine with our passion.
Work is work but it's a lot more fulfilling if you actually enjoy it. And if you can learn to love it or become passionate about it, even better.
If you set out to be a nurse and realize you really can't stand the sight of blood and needles make you woozy, then you are just immersing yourself in a pool of stress by continuing on with this career.

It's important to note that you are probably never going to become an expert in an occupation you hate.

I'm not going to become a herpetologist if I have a phobia of snakes. They stress me out, overwhelm me, give me anxiety, and put me in a general overall negative state. But I am really good in connecting with people, inspiring people to take action, and establishing that genuine trust essential to any sort of successful long-term business. So perhaps a motivational speaker is my calling as it lines up with my strengths and desires.
It's important for you to focus on what you are good at and skip around the rest. This means you should pass off things you really do yourself to other professionals, according to preservearticles.com professionals. You may get stressed at just the thought of planning an event. So if you are a busy flight attendant you should hire an event planner to take care of your upcoming New Year's party.

For one, you don't have the time to get everything ready and two, the last thing you need to do is add stress to your plate and summon information overload.
Do what you do best and hire professionals to take care of the rest and you're setting yourself up for success.
