The work my clients do focused on career passion often ends up touching numerous facets of their lives, not just career.

Why? Because it's all interconnected. We don't live in work silos and personal silos. What affects one part of our life affects the other parts of our life as well.

The impact on relationships is a prime example. Being on the passion track in your career has a positive effect on your relationships because half of each of those relationships - that is to say, you - is happy with how you are spending a big chunk of your time.

It's not just relationships with significant others that loving your work affects. It's any relationship you have in your life. Co-workers. Kids. Friends. You name it.

When you're unhappy, or frustrated, or feeling powerless and stuck, that can't help but seep into other parts of your life. It can't help but affect the interactions you have with others.

On the flipside, if you're feeling happy, energized, and full of possibility, that is going to color how you approach and experience everything else in your life. You've got more energy to put into relationships. You're less cranky and more inclined to be patient because you aren't already close to that frustration point.

Loving your work doesn't guarantee great relationships - like anything, that takes work. But it does set the stage for carrying the way that work makes you feel into every other corner of your life.
