Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.
For example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.'"
Finding inspiration can come from various sources, even when you're making initial mistakes and stepping into a new discipline you haven't encountered before. It's not necessary to adore it; rather, it's about learning to value your surroundings, recognizing opportunities, and appreciating the individuals who introduced you to them.
Take a moment to appreciate those who believed in you before you believed in yourself, the ones who said, 'If I can do it, so can you.' Embrace the principles associated with this new opportunity, and you'll soon witness your self-confidence blossoming. You'll shift from skepticism to belief. As you engage with people one-on-one, you'll discover that it's an incredibly exciting opportunity. Each person you encounter holds unlimited potential, perhaps becoming a lifelong friend, a gateway to retirement, or a future colleague. It's a substantial endeavor, and sometimes, especially in the beginning, we may not fully grasp its magnitude.
So, before you're tempted to give up or become disheartened, keep in mind that all success relies on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude, and the stepping stones along the way. You might not be thrilled with your current situation, but it's undoubtedly one of the stones that will lead to remarkable opportunities in the future.
