Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.
Steve Jobs
The point of adversity is not that you’ll “learn valuable lessons.” Rather, the point is that by going through the challenges and difficulties of life, you may develop the sense, over time, that you’re the kind of person who can handle these things. You’re bigger than you think you are. Once you come to that realization, you begin to see the challenges that open you to the hugeness of your soul as perfect. You begin to feel less threatened by these challenges. You begin to feel safe. The universe is no longer a place that hurls daggers at you; it’s a place that hurls at you opportunities for expanding your heart, opening your love, and growing your leadership.
