THE TRUE WORK
“Often in actual life, and not infrequently in the myths and popular tales, we encounter the dull case of the call unanswered; for it is always possible to turn the ear to other interests. Refusal of the summons converts the adventure into its negative. Walled in boredom, hard work, or “culture,” the subject loses the power of significant affirmative action and becomes a victim to be saved.”- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
The spark is lit.
You cannot afford to waste any more time.
You cannot afford to remain distracted.
Now is the time to answer the call and to define your path.
Perhaps you are dreaming about a creative project, something that brings meaning and joy to you. Or you have decided to break into a different industry, one that you find challenging and exciting. Perhaps you have even been fortunate to find a true mentor to help you with their knowledge and connections.
Now begins the true work!
Do not be afraid of this work. It isn’t busy work, or tedious work, or drudgery, but the true work of your being. Starting from an idea, beginning from nothing, can be daunting. But do not fear this obstacle. All that matters is that you take the very first step and that you begin as soon as possible.
Take the leap!
“Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.”-Padre Pio
Many have never experienced the concept of beautiful work. The concept may be frightening. The word itself, work, is a word that brings to mind a variety of emotions, none of them good. The small office. The demanding boss. The feeble coworkers who contribute nothing but take all the credit.
