About This Quote

The job you hold is often not what you think it is. It is an assignment that will feel like a chore at first and it will also feel like a job rather than a passion. As you pursue your work, you may find yourself distancing yourself from the job and more into what you do to help others. It is important that we ask ourselves, “What am I here to do?” If we don’t know what we are doing, we will continuously struggle and be unable to live up to the potential we have.
