You’ve heard it a million times, but it doesn’t kick in until you experience it.
I mean, you could recite it if it were a poem. You could preach it like it’s the gospel–that you have to love what you do to get optimum satisfaction and outcome.
But then, after preaching, you go back to doing your shitty job everyday and hating every moment of it, wishing for a big break when you could do what you actually love and do it passionately, on your own terms.
And you miss the point, that it isn’t really about the change of job. It is about developing an interest in what you have to do.
If you can endure it, why not enjoy it?
It’s, more importantly, about finding reasons why what you do doesn’t suck as much as you’ve convinced yourself it does.
You just need a shift in perspective. And then that thing can be enjoyed; and you can learn from it what you never thought you could. Just because you paid enough attention. Just because you gave a little fuck about what you had to do.
There’s power in that.
