The late Steve Jobs, and the founder of Apple, said in an address at Stanford University:
I’m pretty sure none of this success would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
How many of you are just accepting the drudgery that comes with waking up to go to work and driving through traffic in a nine-to-five job you don’t like, with colleagues who are not particularly inspiring? You may have convinced yourself to go along with the drudgery by thinking you need the job’s paycheck to survive.
How long are you going to continue to do this? Wake yourself up from this monotony and challenge yourself to live your dharma. It is easier than you think—and you can make enough money at it too, when you do!
Carol, a secretary in her late twenties, was happily married to Hank. The two had a young child together, and things were going great until Carol decided she wanted to move to a big city for better opportunities. She had the ambition and passion to attend business school so she could become an entrepreneur. Hank rejected this dream immediately; he was content being a part-time teacher in their small town, even though he was not working in a job he particularly loved. Carol and Hank have since divorced, and Carol told me one of the key issues they could not resolve was Hank’s complete lack of sense about what he wants to do with his life. Hank had no love for what he did, and he didn’t have much ambition either. In the end, the ingredient missing from this relationship—a shared passion and pursuit of the right career for each of them—separated the couple.
I must insert one cautionary note here: On the opposite side of the spectrum are the many around the world are so in love with their work, they find no time for a relationship. While it is great that these people love their work, I say, “Why can’t they have the love of their life as well?” Pursuing dharma does not mean anchoring one’s life in work! Dharma encourages balance as the ideal lifestyle; there’s a balance between loving what you do and finding love. There is no reason, you need to sacrifice one for the other. If you are a Yogi, you would understand what to and when to do it and not over do anything.
If you are single, try to find what you love to do first once you find that, get fit for love and then love will find you.
"It is about learning to love from the inside out. Yes a big part of the book is about Yoga, but the core message of it , is learning to and how to love yourself on the inside. It emphasizes so much on focusing on yourself, that is such a refreshing perspective on relationships.” Paulina D, San Diego, CA
"The core message of the book is before you unite with someone try to unite with yourself. It is learning about yourself, finding yourself and then if you choose to you can find love on the outside . The book gives ways to do just that in simple step by step way.” 
"Yoga is a life long process and the goal of life is self exploration. The book inspires me to make myself whole, integrated, to feel complete unto myself. Once I do that , I will attract a holistic, integrated person who is a totality of himself, which is how a relationship is supposed to be.” 
"Yoga is love, love is Yoga. It is not a relationship book, it is not just a love book, it is a lifestyle book. It is educational, informative, a message that everybody can apply. It teaches you how to be a better person, so that you don’t just find the love of your life but learn to have better relationships with everyone.” ? "Pin It")
