Do you remember when you started something for the love of it? When you found pure joy in immersing yourself in that thing? When there was excitement, discovery and opportunities in it? When you really, really couldn’t get enough of it? When you were absolutely obsessed?

When was the last time you felt that way?

For me, so often I’m focused on the end goal and not the steps in between. What I forget is that it’s in the process of becoming obsessed with that thing where I receive the most satisfaction. The end goal is because of all the time, patience and energy I’ve focused on fostering my passion. No one else sees the process – but I see it, I live it, I work on it. Behind the scenes, I’m hustling. The result isn’t overnight. It’s absolutely a process – and I live for the process. I’m methodical. I like to have a plan (and I like to stick by it!)

But, when you slowly forget about the pure joy, excitement, discovery and opportunities – that’s the time you need to reframe your perspective and remember. Remember why you started. Remember the energy it brings you. Remember the person you’ve become because of it. Remember.

Remember when you started for the love of it? Remember.
