STATE OF BEING

Sometimes…

You want to quit.

It’s inevitable,

In the absence of the feeling you hoped for,

You wonder,

Is it time to change?

Just one more tweak,

And maybe this time you’ll have it.

Only it doesn’t work that way.

You do it, then you do it again,

Then you go deeper and you see there are windows you haven’t opened yet,

Things you haven’t explored.

You sit in the problem and work it,

Until time goes away,

And it’s just you and the work you’ve assigned yourself.

Typically, we see success as an event,

You win the game, you get the job, you complete the project,

But in reality it is the cumulative effect of a state of being.

Single pointed focus to a clearly defined outcome,

Over time.

This is true for work, a project, relationships,

Or anything you want to do well,

And maybe one day, do great.

Define your goal,

Be patient,

And learn how to fall in love,

With doing the work.
