Do what you love vs. Love what you do


LOVE what you do, so that one day you’ll get to do what you LOVE...

a soulful perspective on goal-setting and deadlines - Joyful Productivity for soulpreneurs

Can you relate to this comment from a student familiar with my content: “I'm seeing this pattern of mind setting up goals and plans, and especially times, to complete things. Then what tends to happen is that the plans get somehow thrown off… Things tend to start after the end of the arbitrary deadline.
