You don’t wake up every day loving your job.
Because *love* is unreliable.
Hello dear friend,
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” — Confucius.
Age-old wisdom, but I disagree.
Why?
Because *love* is unreliable.
You don’t wake up every day loving your job.
Loving your job implies you’ll be motivated for it every day — which is impossible.
Life becomes one-dimensional when you derive pleasure and money from the same thing.
Instead, even though you love your job and have made your passion into your profession, you need to stop relying on *love* alone.
Instead, treat it like a 9-to-5.
How?
Impose deadlines on yourself, so you don’t laze around wasting time.
Have a system to get things done, so you rely on discipline, not motivation.
Ensure there’s a balance between *fun* and *work* to eliminate burnout.
Build a habit around it so you don’t only rely on *love.*
In the end, no matter how much you love your job, discipline will see you through, not passion.
