The only way to love what you do
When I walk through the door after a day of work, my mum asks me interrogatively “what did you eat today?”
When I’m walking out the door to go meet friends, my mum takes a good look at me — “use this sorbolene cream to moisturize your face” she utters with a patronizing look on her face.
When I’m sick and I can’t get out of bed she’ll bring a tray with a bowl of soup filled to the brim, boiling hot lemon tea, Panadol and cough medicine— “finish this, I’ve got another pot of soup heating”
All of her actions — feeding, cooking, caring, comforting, everything she does — comes straight from the heart. There’s no doubting her intention.
That’s why I love her.
That’s why you love your mum— she’s always doing things to show you she loves you, from the bottom of her heart.
That’s why we love anything at the end of the day.
Art, films, books, YouTube videos, blog posts, music, food.
Someone’s pouring their heart into something for you to enjoy, for you to fall in love with.
My last post about being happy in any moment received the most green heart recommends in my Medium tenure — nearly 100. For me, it’s not about the stats, and I’m still not convinced that it’s my greatest post (so far).
But I can promise you that it was genuine, authentic and straight from my heart. I meant every word I wrote and jam-packed that post with love. That’s the only way I knew I was satisfied with the final version. That’s the only reason that it resonated with you lovely readers.
Whatever you do, do it from your heart. That’s the way to love what you do
I don’t know if I was doing this before, but I know now to put my 100% in.
I’m more aware of my actions. I’m more focused.
By doing things from the heart I can be more positive.
By doing things from the heart I can help the people around me.
By doing things from the heart I can be a little bit better at being me every day.
In this world
We need more love in this world.
We need to build more trust in this world.
We need more peace in this world.
We need more smile and laughter in this world.
You can do your part
You can do your part by loving what you do.
You can do your part by trying your best.
You can do your part by doing things from your heart.
The Universe
When you do things from your heart, you’re bound to receive love back.
That’s how the universe works — for every action, their is an equal and opposite reaction.
This isn’t just science, this isn’t just love — this is the Universe.
To be loved, it’s that easy — do things from your heart.
o be happier in life, we need to do meaningful work.
We need to do work that ignites our passion, work that excites us, work that we actually give a shit about.
I’m happiest when I know the work I’ve done is impacting someone in a positive way. That’s what allows me to be the best version of my self.
I can only live with my self when I know I’ve tried.
I can only love what I do if I put in my 100%.
I can only be me and stop trying to be anyone else if I do things from the heart.
Bring Out The Best In You
I remember when I was back in University, the take home assignments I had to do were so boring and lacked any form of creativity. I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about it. I never really cared about them, and as a result I received multiple passes (50<65), some credits (65<75), a few distinctions (75<85) and to the best of my knowledge one high distinction (85<100).
You can tell that I didn’t put much effort into these assignments. They were all pretty much plagiarized the night before. I still remember having to use McDonalds free wife to submit an assignment on my way home, for a subject that I was nearly about to fail.
Now that I’ve graduated, I’m designing the life that I want.
I’m doing work that I actually want to do.
At Deputy, I’m helping grow our Customer Experience team while maintaining the excellent level of customer service that our team is known for. Each day I’m helping our customers get the best out of Deputy and mentoring our team on how to best serve our customers. come say HI!
In my personal life, I occasionally publish blogs post on medium and engage with like-minded, inspiring people over social media(hi friends!). I don’t care about the follower numbers, likes, recommends etc. (okay I do a little), I care about helping just one person. That’s the first step to making this world a better place.
Additionally, I’m learning about writing, entrepreneurship, content marketing and how to build a personal brand — thank you Internet!
As a side project, I’m helping one of my best friends promote his healthy meal delivery service business, My muscle chef through content and social media.
I love everything that I’m currently doing. I’m contributing to each part of my life by doing my best work, because these are the things I care about. I’m passionate about delivering a great customer experience, I’m excited to build my personal brand by providing value to people and I’m engaged by being involved in promoting a business across social channels.
I can only do my best work by doing things from my heart.
Find work that you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life
Better Relationships
Being authentic and doing things from your heart speaks volumes in the creative/professional world. People appreciate your perspective. They don’t want revised, regurgitated, copied work — they want your work.
People begin to trust you when you’ve put your 100% in. They respect your effort and support you along the way.
People are attracted to passion.
Think about all passionate people you admire — they are genuine, authentic and they do things from their heart, so you can enjoy their work. Singers, authors, bloggers, entrepreneurs — you name it.
When you do work that you’re proud of, you begin to attract the right people into your life. Inspired people want to get behind you. These are the people you want to keep in your life.
These are the people in which you should invest your time in and strengthen your relationship with.
Be your real self, because that’s what people love you for.
Live With Yourself
I think being authentic is essential because you’re the one who’s got to live with yourself, and if you aren’t being true to what you want to say and do, it’s going to eat you alive
It’s all about the intention. If you committed to something and it failed, but you put your heart into it, the result doesn’t matter — the intention was there. You’ll learn from it and do better next time.
When you do things from your heart, you’ll be happy knowing you were honest with yourself.
You’ll be stress-free and have nothing to worry about because you did what you believed you had to do.
I live with my self knowing that every word I’ve published is my own.
I live with my self because I’ve given it my best shot.
I live with my self knowing that I’m not perfect, I’m a work in progress.
Whatever you do, do it from your heart. That’s the way to love what you do
