Love and consistency are more reliable than hard work and motivation.
The things we love have roots that weave through the innermost parts of the self, and contribute to the structure of our being.
Love is the path of least resistance into consistency. When we visit the things that feed our soul, the flow state is open and time ceases to exist. This is where mastery is born.
Motivation on the other hand, fades. The hustle culture of hard work almost always leads to burnout and questioning the investment of time.
There are no guarantees in this short, wild ride called life. The things that enrich our experience deserve our attention, and we deserve the opportunity to cultivate peace in the present.
