Loving your work is more than half the magic!
Do you love what you are doing? Can you forget about money and still love what you are doing presently, and so keep at it? In case your answer is in affirmatives, then congratulations. However if ‘NO’, you need to go further than where you are to become your brightest.
There is a very strong correlation between doing a trade you really love and becoming successful in it. Majorly, we all hardly start recording what any might call success streak right from the outset of any effort-making adventures. No, it hardly works that way.
Notwithstanding do you care to know what keeps men standing even while their expectation is still in the hiding state? It’s the love; it’s the passionate love.
Errors begin to dictate one’s life at the very wake of the moment one starts with the wrong foot out. What do I mean? Doing what’s against his or her interest is going against his or her own destiny. Success as a journey is not that far, only that if another longer or uncertain path to it is taken, it may become a total futility to appear progressing in the sight of people. And part of the wrong route to that success is to choose the wrong calling for your package.
It’s either you love what you are doing or you do what you really, really love.
Money or recognition is not the number one mark of importance to be a success in any profession. Do that which you love, and the love will draw the money. Not only the money, but also the recognition, the fame, the influence, and all the necessary plusses.
The magic about all this is that what makes you a recognised success is not your profession, neither your associates in business, eventhough all these are complementary, but the root remains the root. The proverbial adage says that ‘Bad workman quarrels with his tools.’ The main reason is not the bad tools, but because the workman himself is out of tune with his own make-up.
You can’t love everything about every profession. That’s why you can’t do everything (works) to succeed in everything (in all). Men that succeed do so in the line of profession they have found so endearing to their hearts. Then money and any other comes after rewarding the works or what’s termed as the ‘labour of love’.
CHECK POINTS IF YOU LOVE YOUR WORK
Not minding you being an employee or an employer, ask yourself these questions and see what is left with you, confidence or doubt.
Do you work in harmonious cooperation with the fellow workmates or you rather find them ALL ‘hard-to-go by’?
Do you hiss your way to your place of work daily, and then look up the hands of clock to see if the closing time is done or not while at work?
Do you receive inspirations while at work on how to do your work better, faster?
(This shows that your faculties are working all for one to show mirth in the inward being)
Do you love the work and its activities more than the pecuniary rewards?
Irrespective if either you are self-employed or otherwise, these few questions should be a poser to let you know which side you fling to, a poor or a sound workman. The self-employed or the entrepreneurs today, more than half of them were once employed by some other before starting on their own. Their love for their works, if they are in the aftermath successful, plays the big role to make them a bright success.
Seek for what you are cut out for, and you would never quarrel with your tools, and your ability to make for success will never be denied.
‘A chosen burden is never felt.’
