Do you love what you do?

How important is it to find work that feels like play in order to be successful?

~THREAD~

For those of you that love what you do for a living, do you have to discipline yourself to do it?

A great example is the creators of the world.

Twitch streamers, YouTubers, etc who are hyper-successful but wake up doing what they love every single day so they WANT to "work".

There are going to be parts of what you love that you don't enjoy that you have to do in order to do what you enjoy.

That's a given and can't be avoided, not everything is sunshine and rainbows.

You hear stories about successful people that just wake up and want to work because it isn't working to them, it's play.

@naval touches on this quite a bit.

"Building it will feel like play to you, but look like work to others."

This goes hand and hand with finding or really what I believe in developing your passion.

If the work we do feels like a grind, should we really be doing it or looking to pivot until we find what feels like play?

This is something I've gone back and forth with for a while.
