“Though you can love what you do not master, you cannot master what you do not love.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
September is one of my favorite months of the year. Cooler air, football, and the promise of the holidays around the corner, I love it. And it doesn’t hurt that here in the U.S., September starts with a holiday. But Labor Day isn’t just a long weekend; it’s a time to pause and reflect on the hard work we have put into every day. I am a firm believer in the adage, “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” and I have been fortunate to experience this throughout my life and career.
Make sure love remains the driving force in your work and your labor. If you want to answer this question or need inspiration, I highly recommend “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us” by Daniel H. Pink.
I hope you all had a great Labor Day!
