I want to fall in love
I remember hearing Sam Ovens talk about falling in love with the work in one of his videos.
I watched it yesterday and it had me thinking…
When I look back at the periods where I actually made progress, it was never because I was obsessed with money, or where things would lead me.
It was because I enjoyed the process enough to keep doing the same shit everyday.
Let’s look at Michael Jordan. Or my glorious king LeBron James.
Yes, they’re talented. Yes, they’re disciplined.
But what really separates them is how deep their relationship with the game goes.
I was reading a book by a trainer and he said that the NBA is so much easier than any form of professional basketball… why?
Because once certain players make it to the NBA that means the big bucks are coming so all the grind and hustle is gone because “we made it”
Zion Williamson to me should’ve been way better than what he is now but his main goal was to take care of his family now he can comfortably do that what’s the point in trying to be better??
I say this to say…
If you’re only chasing results, you’ll quit the moment you get them.
But if you can fall in love with the work, the writing, the learning, the repetition, that feeling of not knowing.
You give yourself a real chance.
I’m still learning this.
Some days I love the work. Some days I have to force myself to do it.
But I know this much for sure, it will all work out one day if I just stay course.
It’s not a matter of if but when…
