If There Was No Reward

The Work Worth Doing

If there was no reward at the end, would you still do it?

The questions begs you to think through the benefits along the way–a series of ups and downs we often overlook for the end result.

What if you removed the guarantee of a higher pay for putting in more hours than those around you. Would you still?

Knowing that your product would never make it to market, would you keep making it for the next 60 years?

Short term gratification and long hauls aside, it’s worth looking at the impact you make by following your passion even if it doesn’t get you what you want in the end.

The people you inspire when they see you being resilient.

The positive ripple you make on the community when you give more than those around you.

Even simply making someone else’s day.

It all adds up.

Not to a big gratifying ending, but to an enjoyable ride for those around you.

Isn’t that what it’s all about, anyway?

 

Stay Positive & Keep At It
