Let’s compare 2 thoughts of school of “success”.  One is motivated by status and net worth and material possessions. Â
The other is motivated by the ENERGY and PASSION and DRIVE to just keep working hard because you love the work so much that it does not feel like “work”.  It’s motivated by your calling.
You love the work so much that you see OPPORTUNITIES instead of hurdles.
You love the work so much that you see SOLUTIONS instead of problems.
You love the work so much that you see connections as true RELATIONSHIPS.
You love the work so much that you use both sides of your brain… so much so that you find yourself being both technical AND creative, even though you aren’t wired that way (and that might even surprise you).
Let me break some news to you, from personal experience: Â In those moments you are working to your fullest potential. Â That’s how you were created, and that’s what you were born to do!
So get busy! Â Put some hard work and HUSTLE into it…
