Labor vs. Joy

• Is it in you to find success? Have you searched to the ends of Heaven and Earth for opportunities to acquire joy and wealth? Despite many dissapointments, do you still believe your grand prize is waiting for you just around the corner?
• The reason for your perpetual incarceration in mediocrity is rooted in a tree of misunderstanding. You've focused your quest on the opportunity, the scheme, the idea and the process that will make you successful. The result is that your life has been filled with an endless stream of opportunities, schemes, ideas and processes that produced various levels of dissapointment.
• Understand, these experiences were not conducted in vain. Now you know your strengths and weaknesses. You also know what it is that you enjoy doing. Instead of taking desperate shots in the dark, hoping you hit the jackpot, you can now make an informed decision as to how you'll accumulate your riches.
• Once you figure out what you want to spend your life doing, avoid falling into the trap of then waiting for the dollars to start piling in. In order to assure success you must formulate your ultimate thoughts of prosperity into a tangible plan. This is the bridge between flowery dreams and concrete reality.
• The secret to riches is to lead an enriched life. This can only be done by following your passion. Every year hundreds of sheep graduate from institutions with inflated senses of self-worth only to go on to drive various industries directly into the ground. People of knowledge fill the thrones of mediocrity while people of passion sit on mountains of gold. People of knowledge are mere charlatan's offering false promises behind false smiles. They go door to door with a quiet desperation trying to convince people to buy something they don't need. Passion sells itself. It's easy.
• Hard work is for fools that look with their eyes and build with their hands. Joy is left to those that look with their minds and build with their faith.
• The one hustling trash scares us into thinking we need to obtain something better so we can be spared a life of struggle. Great people remind us that the treasure we seek is ourselves.
• In life, there is work and there is creation. One is labor the other is joy. Which one do you want?
