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 may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door.
For example, a guy says, “I'm sewing clothes. Should I love sewing clothes?” The answer is, “No, you don't have to love sewing clothes, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, ‘I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to sew clothes. I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.’”
You don't have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news, who found you. Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself; appreciate the person who said, “Hey, if I can do it, you can do it.”
So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few other stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that leads to great opportunities in the future.
