How To Work You A** Off

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. – Pelé

Success is no accident, nor is what creates the grit and perseverance required to create success.

You must fall in love with what’s required to achieve your goal.

When you’re in love with the work, it ceases to be “work.”

It becomes something else.

Not easy, or effortless, just something that, somehow, day-in-and-day-out, you do.

Otherwise, you’ll resist, to some degree your heart won’t be in it and it will be harder than it has to be, take longer and likely be of a lower quality.

Find something you want so much you’re willing to love the tough parts of creating it.

That’s what allows you to truly work your a** off.
