When your line of work makes you nauseous

I found this in my LinkedIn email this morning:

The Inspiring Story of Brian Johnson « The Potential Within

… Brian knew that someday he would be great. It appeared to all the world that, as an accountant, he had life by the tail. It was during his first week of work, however, that Brian became nauseous and knew in his heart that accounting was not who he was. … Having no idea what he wanted to do with his life, but knowing that accounting wasn’t it, he enrolled in one of the U.S.’s leading law schools and thought that he would become a great lawyer with a six figure income. Brian’s never been short on drive. He had been studying only a semester when he realized that law was definitely not who he is either and subsequently dropped out of school … “if I just trust myself and follow my heart and work diligently, great things happen that I never could have predicted would happen.” Today Brian lives his passion without hesitation and follows his bliss …

It really spoke to me in a big way. Because I understand this drive … and this nausea—all too much.
