Do What You Love

I often see this little quote bantered about in motivational speeches, or business books. A little tidbit of wisdom. Lately, I've just been trying to figure out what that is. It's not as easy as it sound, especially when you throw the expenses of life around. I guess I have the problem of being good at several things, not all of which I like. About the only thing I've figured out so far is that I like starting new things. Not necessarily finishing them, which presents quite a conundrum if you want to follow the above advice. So, I just need to find a job where I can start a bunch of things, but then just let other people finish them. That doesn't sound like the clinching interview quote, does it? I guess the problem is that I am good at getting things done, but I just don't like the finishing part. Often I find myself smack in the middle of something when I've already thought out the rest of it in my head, found that uninteresting, and start thinking up the next task. So, does "Do what you love" really count for stuff like this?
