Take Whatever It Is That You Are Doing Seriously

‘You would not think any duty small, if you yourself were great.’- George MacDonald

You are not your work. But you are not going to do more than how you see your work.

If you don’t respect your work, you are disrespecting yourself.

If you do not value what you are doing, you are not going to do it really well.

And if you do not do what you are doing better than your past jobs, you are stealing from your future self.

Whatever you are doing right now, do not play with it, take it seriously. When you take what you are doing seriously, you will do whatever is within your power to make it happen, to be great at it, and to take it to the next level

It does not mean more time; it means quality. It means gratitude. It means love. It means growth. It means life.

If you are NOT growing, check how you are doing what you are doing. Ask yourself, ‘Why am I not getting better?’ Am I doing it with love? Am I giving it my all? Or, am I just killing time?

If you pay attention to what you are doing, what you are doing will pay attention to you.

Growth is a two-way street. You always get what you put into something. If you do not respect your job, you are not going to be happy with your life.

Do Not Rush, But Do Not Forget What You Want

‘Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand.’- George MacDonald

If you know what you want, if you are going somewhere, then take your time. Do not rush, but do not do it forever.

Great things take time, but they don’t take forever to achieve them.

Like or not, whatever is taking you forever to achieve is not for you. How long do you think you still have on earth?

Why do you want to spend the rest of your life with something that is lifeless, that is not working, that is dead? Why?

Instead, why not move on to what is right in front of you. We don’t see what is in front of us because we are after what is on the other side of the fence. Guess what? There is nothing there.

What you have right now is what you need to get to your next level. If you do it well, your next level is possible. If you do not do it well, your next level is on hold.

Do not put your greatness on hold. We do it every day. We put our lives on hold when we are waiting for what is not there.

Instead of doing, we are just hoping. If you want to do be successful, hope is not a strategy.

Hope is great, but you must do the work. Do not wait for what is not there. Instead, take what you already have and turn it into what you are waiting for.

Instead of waiting for your dream job, why not turn what you are doing right now into what you are waiting for?

If you want to be succeeful, it is not what you are doing that matters; it is how you are doing it that matters.

Be patient, but know what you are doing. Know what you want, and know when to say, ‘enough is enough.’
