The long sunny days of summer (outside the UK of course!) are a distant memory and misty mornings coupled with heavy work schedules aren't always the most invigorating start to each day.

But it really doesn't have to be this way. If you aren't combining your occupation with your passion then perhaps this is time to start believing that you really could. There are always 101 reasons why you think you cannot actually live an 'occupassion' (defined as an occupation combined with a passion). Mortgage payments, the risk of failure, peer and family pressure to do the 'sensible thing'.

For just one morning though, at the start of the autumn, take a little time to stop and pause and just wonder what it might be like if you actually made the change. Imagine every morning being motivated to see what the day has in store? What are YOUR passions? Not someone else's view of what working and leisure life might be.... yours? Could there, if you are really thinking creatively and positively, be a way of living the dream? Is it a dream? Or could you change it into reality?

What's YOUR occupassion?
