The Work Is The Master

Wrapped up in the pursuit of your goals, are your hopes and dreams.

To make something of yourself.

To do something important, and worthwhile.

To put your talents and abilities to work.

To show the world, what you are capable of.

If the goal is worthwhile (worthwhile goals involve creating, making, and growing things - things of wonder, things of beauty, things of excitement, things of nourishment), let the work be your master.

When engaged in the work, be fully present.

Obey the commands of your work.

Your future self will thank you for this dedication…

Dear Past Self,

Thank you for being committed to The Work.

For treating The Work from day one with respect.

For never veering from the thought that The Work deserved the utmost attention.

For obeying the demands of The Work, even as you toiled in penury or invisibility.

For staying loyal and faithful to The Work, even when it seemed you were just wasting your time, energy, and money.

You were not “just wasting time, energy, and money”.

Writing to you today is your Future Self.

Who, you will be happy to know, has made great strides with the Work, and is still doing what you set out to do.

You did it. We did it.

Thank you!

Your Future Self
