Work You Love

I just finished reading an article on Lifehacker about the fallacy of thinking there is one perfect job out there for you.  It is possible for someone to find a job you love, but I doubt that there are any jobs without any sort of frustration or annoyance.  Instead of trying to find the one perfect job, they recommend building passion by finding a career with things like autonomy, a sense of impact and mastery, creativity, respect and recognition and then becoming great at it.  Seems relevant since I am looking for a new position.
