Do you Love What You Are Doing

Yesterday I took a ride out with my bike. The weather was great, just right for a short tour. I needed to be back to make a meal, but I could not resist just jumping on the bike.
After a short tour, I came to a small dam where people were sitting around relaxing, reading, kissing, playing..whatever one does on such a sunny day.
Hearing splashes I was interested to know who was swimming, although this was no place to swim. I noticed a young boy throwing a ball into the water and two dogs jumping in, swimming like mad, fetching the ball and bringing it back. This was repeated more than often.
I think this is a typical scene on a sunny day. The thought came to me "Why does the dog keep jumping in, getting wet, puffing away to bring the ball back, and making this effort?"

The answer: HE LOVES IT!

Do you like what you are doing? I do.
Do you love what you are doing? I do.
Do you dream about what you are doing? I do
Do you wake up and your first thought is that what you love doing? I do.

Get yourself in the position, like that dog, LOVE what you are doing. Let it penetrate your day, where you go, with whom you are with.
Everything you see, or experience will give you ideas as to what to do.
Be sure you have a notebook and jot the thoughts down, even if you are standing in a queue. (Just don't jot something down when you need to pay for your wares.)

The more you love what you are doing, the easier it is to swim with the ball in your mouth.
The easier it is to jump into the cold water again and try once more.
The greater the joy when you reach the surface, and you have succeeded.

And, what if you are the little boy? Who does he represent?
The leader, the guide, the promoter, anyway, the one who gives the motivation to do that which your team, your downline, your family, your school-class, your prospects, your employees, LOVE doing.
Have a great day.
