It's Thursday AM, 8:45 EST, and I've spent the last 30 minutes channel surfing before I head to the beach (Eastern Long Island).
Let me share with you a few things you can USE to start shakin' and bakin' at a whole new level.
Are you ready or really ready?
First off, flipping through the TV I came across Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. Put what she was cooking aside for a second (it looked great).
Here's what I saw.
PASSION. It just flies through the TV.
Rachel Ray LOVES what she does.
Do you know Rachel Ray had a public access cooking show for
3 years or so and made pennies if anything?
Talk about not getting it right and just getting it going.
LOVE. (remember this for a second).
Rachel's show was done. I surfed around and saw an interview with actor Leonardo DeCaprio.
Many observers consider Leo to be one of the greatest actors of his generation.
Follow me here.
So Leo is being interviewed. The interviewer says you have many influential friends, ever thought about running for political office.
He stops for a second.
Thinks and says.
"No, couldn't. I LOVE what I do too much."
Love. (keep this in your mind)
Let me challenge you for a second.
Next time you put on the TV, pay attention to who you like and who you're watching.
Ask yourself:
Does this person LOVE what they're doing? Are they playing to their strengths or weaknesses?
Here's what's funny.
You can do the SAME THING.
"Mike, well I don't know what I enjoy doing."
Ok, great.
How much time have you spent in introspection?
Really looking at your strengths, weaknesses, what you enjoy, where you're most celebrated. Also, get a friend, someone you trust and talk with them about it.
Remember, go where you're celebrated, not tolerated.
Take time to DECODE GREATNESS.
Watch Tiger, Oprah, Spielberg. Watch LOVE in action.
They're no different than you know.
Come on'. Let's make your next 7 days incredible.
Spend more time in the areas you LOVE, you enjoy.
Watch how good you feel. See your increased results.
Doing what you don't like as a career isn't fun at all.
Been there, done that. (ugh)
You know you were born for greatness.
Time to stretch yourself even more, you agree?
Love Ya! You're The Best!
Your Coach,
Michael
Hi Mike,
Doing what we love is important, because if we like what we're doing, we will be more productive.
BTW, I didn't really know who Rachel Ray was until you wrote about her. I used to saw her name on some spam emails from someone promoting a kind of tea..
This is such an excellent point. If you look at successful people, almost all of them are passionate and love what they do. I think it's a huge component of success. It might take awhile, but at least you're enjoying the ride!
