Work and Creating
“So if the work you are creating demands completion before you
can find fulfillment, it’s doubtful the creation will be finished, and
perhaps more doubtful it will be any good when it’s done. You’ll labor
through it, pushing it up a hill like a broken cart. But if you can love
the actual work, not the finished product, you’re onto something. If
you have a rhythm, if you get up every morning and work for a few hours,
and you like the getting up and the work, and you don’t think about how
great it will be when it’s done, but rather how great it is every day
that you get up and do the work, your creation will be tremendous. Don’t
think about the finished product. Stop rewarding yourself with
something that doesn’t exist. Instead, think about how delightful it is
you get to do this, you get to make this, and how delightful it will be
to get up and do it again.”Donald Miller
