Do Work.

First off let me say I have been in lala land for the past couple of weeks. Lots on the mind and lots going on at work. “Do work.” This has probably become my favorite phrase over the past couple of years. What is most funny about it is that it took over my life because of a MTV series called Rob and Big. If you haven’t seen it, watch it. You may think I am an idiot for watching it, but one of my favorite things to do in life is laugh and that show helps me experience laughter every time I turn it on. Let me correct that, one of my favorite things in life is to watch my wife laugh and she laughs super hard at Rob and Big.

Do work. In my business I spend a lot of time talking to people about their jobs and their goals, aspirations and dreams. I would have to say that 80% of these people see themselves doing something different over the course of their lives. They are extremely unhappy to wake up not stoked to “do work.” I get emails from friends during the week and it may go like this, “It’s Tuesday, 2 down 3 to go.” Why do people feel this way? Why do people pick jobs to go to everyday that they count down to the weekend? I totally understand the need to eat, have a roof and if you went to college pay off the millions you now owe.

I guess the point I am trying to make is that you may go to work day in day out and hate it. You may even think it’s just life and you are living the hand you are dealt. I want to encourage you to not go on as if it is business as usual. There is ample opportunity in this country that we live…ample. It may take 15% more energy and drive, but do work and go find your next adventure and figure out a way to love what you do.

Wow. I didn’t meant this to be a self help article, but it kind of turned out that way. If anything look up Rob and Big and laugh hard. Peace.
