You have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. However, what is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune.
For example, "you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you just say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here for long.'"
If you will embrace the disciplines associated with every new opportunity, you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And soon when you go out meeting with other people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world.
The new person you met could be an open door to a new beginning. The new friend could be a colleague for years to come. But sometimes in the beginning when we are just getting started, we don't always see how big it is.
So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the future.
