About This Quote

The person in the quote isn’t wrong. When you are working for money, you must force yourself to work. However, when you are working because you love what you do, then it doesn’t matter if you have to force yourself to do it. If you have a job that is your passion, then you don’t have to force yourself to do it.

Your job becomes a great place to be. You love what you do and the people around you help make your job special.
