The Difference Between Duty and Love
Man, I wish I found this quote back when we were having our Third b5media Business Channel Theme Day, which covered love. That’s because this quote:
Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.
Would’ve been perfect!
Ah well, you can’t have everything. But we can always learn. As another installment of Monday Madness opens yet another work week, ask yourself: Are you doing things because you’re required to do them, or because you really love doing them? The quote is true; the end product will always be much more beautiful when brought about by love. And you’ll find that a labor of love is definitely a lot easier to accomplish.
Of course, this isn’t a call to disregard duty. We all have the duty to make a living to support ourselves and our dependents. And we have a duty to hold up our end of the deal. Can you imagine someone who mixes duty and passion? He would be unstoppable. Duty will help him organize every aspect of his life and career, while the love will provide the inspiration, dedication, and happiness for the job.
But if duty is the only driving force for our freelancing careers, perhaps its time to get off and try a new path.
Have a great work week dear readers!
