What would you do without pay or reward? Do you have a passion that gives you drive?

For me it would be dabbling in watercolor painting and balet. I love to stretch.

To be honest, I still don’t know what to do with my life…

My humble advice: don’t be one of those people who changes careers every year because you’re looking for your “passion.” Find a career that doesn’t make you miserable and pays well enough that you can pursue fun stuff on your free time. Some people have this idea that work is supposed to be euphoric and if you’re not on cloud 9 everyday, clearly you’re in the wrong job.

Occasional work drudgery is to be expected. That’s why they pay you to do it.

I have a very high tolerance to drudgery. To me it’s part of the big picture.

I did my fair share slogging through mountains of data keeping in mind that my work will contribute to the goal of launching a weather satellite into space or keep a freight train fuel efficient.

In short, I am willing to endure hardship in the short term in order to reap rewards in the long term.
 
I already do it. Share the faith. I’m RCIA Director and lead catechist in our parish. I will do this until I die.
 
When we subtract the need for profit & excess in our lives, what remains is toiling for necessities & enlightenment.

If I had any talent, I’d do art of some kind. Alas, I don’t. I am a pretty good cook and enjoy preparing a meal that’s appreciated!

Since I went back to college in my 30’s to pursue a career in lab science and it took me over ten years to figure out that’s what I wanted to do…I did follow my passion on that one. There was drudgery involved, of course. Still, it was a satisfying career!
 
Ireally like calm. My kids are known as the calm family. I dont know how it happened. Im just a calm mom.
 
I’ve been a deacon for over forty years of parish ministry. Never made a nickel. I hope I can keep at it until God calls me home.
 
I’m a bowling coach for a high school varsity team

I would just let go. Dance, sing and be happy. Perhaps a garden.

I am inhibited. Jesus says let go . Plant sing dance and be happy in me!!

But its winter…So Jesus says – prepare my Birth as any other. Plan my manger and Cave. Give Glory to my Mother & earthly dad.

My navidad is more important then your designer tree
Yo. Do it. Do it big. Nacimento. All Holy.

Whar is so sweet is that he really wants it small. Tiny.
Just peace. I love you Jesus

I don’t really have any talent except for being imperfect 🤭
But i honestly can’t see myself working for anyone else but Christ and His Church. And i will always do that with or without pay.
 
I already write and I sometimes get money for it!

I’d love to paint or do stitching arts but I also love to cook and bake and wouldn’t mind cooking or baking full time for others, especially if I would have a chance to try new recipes and ingredients.

I’d like to try to grow a vegetable garden and be able to share the bounty with others.
 
what do you think of as “reward”?

I just read where someone mentioned hobbies. Is that what you referring to do with out pay or reward?

I’m confused that this question says what “would” we do. Haha.

Without pay or reward, I do my current hobbies.

They can’t take up too much time though because unless I perform other tasks for pay and reward, my landlord and grocery store cashier won’t let me stay sheltered at night or keep food in my cupboards.
