Mastery & Achievement

I love my favourite author, Robert Greene for the things he writes and the things he says. Below are a few of his quotes:

'The people in life who are primarily motivated by money or security often end up losing whatever they gain, whereas those who follow their passion end up making far more money than they ever desired.'

'Your emotional commitment to what you are doing will be translated directly into your work.'

'There is no mastery or power without passion.'

Do you really need more motivation and guidance other than the three above-mentioned quotes?

Everything we achieve is not by chance or accident. Many a times life will hit you as if you are just a worthless pile of flesh and bones. No matter in what situation, in what darkness you are in; your resolve to get yourself out of there, will get you out of there. That's how you do it. You go after what you want, giving no reason at all, to life to mock you.

Through focused attention on a problem, we can pierce to more and more profound levels of understanding.

  Getting into a Job or a Business ?

If you are going to get a job, you are never going to make money to fulfill your dreams. You can live comfortably, gain experience and skills or even have a decent lifestyle.

Through jobs, you are going to understand the value of money, how you made it and how you stretch every rupee until your salary increases progressively.

Capitalism though difficult and challenging at first, is the only thing that will make you a money-maker. It's not only about the money, it's more fun and enjoyable learning process and / or the steps to mastery than just having a job that will (surely) feel like paid slavery, at times.

Always be on the lookout for the next learning source / experience rather than only being on the lookout for money.
