When you get in the habit of loving whatever you\u2019re doing, you can always be doing what you love. And when you\u2019re doing what you love, you know you\u2019ll be extremely effective at it. So how do you get yourself to love what you do in every moment, even if it\u2019s something that you assume to be unpleasant?<\/p>\n
1. Remind yourself what a joy and privilege it is to be living this magnificent, one-of-a-kind moment. The fact that you\u2019re here to see the beauty and experience the possibilities is much more significant, in terms of the big picture, than whatever you happen to be doing. As such, whatever you\u2019re doing becomes a component of an overall, overwhelmingly positive experience.<\/p>\n
2. Remember why. Some way and somehow, you\u2019ve chosen to be doing what you\u2019re doing. That is, based on your priorities and goals and dreams, you have set yourself on a path that has led you directly to this moment. There\u2019s a reason why you\u2019re doing whatever you\u2019re doing, and behind that reason is another reason. Follow the track of reasons back to the point where you can identify an intentional decision you made. Whatever you are doing, even if the task itself is unpleasant, is a part of something you have intentionally chosen. When you love that intention and all its resulting consequences, you can truly love what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n
3. Think of what a difference you\u2019re making. Whatever you\u2019re doing is making a difference in the world and in people\u2019s lives. Think about that. You are having an influence. What you do truly matters. You are able to create value that never existed before. Maybe it\u2019s tedious or messy or complicated or frustrating. Even so, it\u2019s making a difference, and that is something in which you can find real satisfaction.<\/p>\n
4. Relish the experience. At the very least, you\u2019ll probably have a good story to tell. If what you\u2019re doing requires a lot of mental focus, use the experience to take your thinking and concentration skills to a higher level, for that\u2019s something that can serve you well for the rest of your life. If what you\u2019re doing doesn\u2019t require much mental focus, use the opportunity to let your thoughts richly wander to wherever you want them to go. There\u2019s something about what you\u2019re doing that you can enjoy. Latch on to that, turn on the enjoyment, love what you\u2019re doing and make it great.<\/p>\n
5. Or, do something else. If you can find no reason to love what you\u2019re doing, then don\u2019t do it. Unless you\u2019re imprisoned or enslaved, you can choose what you do with your time. So quickly and enthusiastically move on to something else, something you can truly love, and some way in which you can create new value in every moment.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
