Do Work You Care About | Daily Quote #340

A fundamental insight to producing high quality work from Robert Greene's book 'Mastery'...

“This is The Primary Law of the Creative Dynamic that you must engrave deeply in your mind and never forget: your emotional commitment to what you are doing will be translated directly into your work.”

Robert Greene, Mastery

[continued from above…] If you go at your work with half a heart, it will show in the lackluster results and in the laggard way in which you reach the end. If you are doing something primarily for money and without a real emotional commitment, it will translate into something that lacks a soul and that has no connection to you. You may not see this, but you can be sure that the public will feel it and that they will receive your work in the same lackluster spirit it was created in. If you are excited and obsessive in the hunt, it will show in the details. If your work comes from a place deep within, its authenticity will be communicated.”

Robert Greene, Mastery

If you want to have an enjoyable life, you have to be connected to your work. You have to believe that what you do matters; it has to line up with your values, with your morals and ethics. You have to be able to go to sleep saying that the work you did and actions you took today will go towards making the world a better place. Not only will this improve the quality of your life, it will improve the quality of your work.
