After reading this article this is what I came up with:
Consider this, the primary reason you're waking up in the morning would mostly be, if not all - work. (And yes, motherhood is a vocation, full time job and, occupation too!) It's such a huge component of your daily life, that the only way to be really happy with yourself is to know, in your heart of hearts that you are loving what you do. If you've searched high and low and haven't found what you've been looking for, I tell you this from seeing how other people go through their lives either joyful or miserable and yes - from experience - don't let-up with the search. Do not settle.
And as this article will tell you - nothing can be truer when it comes to matters of the heart, you’ll just know, when you find it. Think about couples celebrating their 50th and counting, you ask one or both what it is about the other that made them declare commitment - they just know!! "This is it!!" - "I found it." And as with any fulfilling, wonderful relationship it can only get better, with time.
So if you're in a (pre) occupation that just doesn't fill you up and depletes you rather than blissfully exhaust you - then you're better (best, even!) to not just do anything (except of course if you've taken on piles of mortgages and have "broken the bank" and is paying for all the fun! you've had) but even then, it would be a transgression to yourself and everyone around you - to tolerate a job that doesn't make you want to wake up in the morning for.
It may be hard work (to find what you love - of course you gotta know what you're passionate about before anything and it can take lots of experimenting and soul-searching) but it'll be all worth it. Just ask those who've gone through the worst of times and found it (job, relationship, calling, or anything that requires longevity) - nothing beats "coming home" and savoring every minute of it (no matter the curve balls and interesting moments). As nothing beats doing something as simple as frying an egg, to taking off for the moon, as for yes - true love.
