Immerse yourself in a project that unleashes your passion 

• As people with the creative spirit, we’re obsessed with possibility. We live for the rush of turning a thought — an abstract idea — into something real, tangible, touchable, readable, effectual, profitable. We feel empowered, generous even, in the making of our art. We have a practical indignation for mediocrity. We love to get things done. Danielle LaPorte
• When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. Patanjali
• Within each of us lies The Project. An idea longing to be nourished, cherished, launched and completed. Writing a novel. Starting an enterprise. Raising a family. Freeing a nation.  Our deepest desire is to do The Project. To express our vision. To carefully and patiently watch it unfold. To present it to those who will benefit by it. And to experience the pride of the job beautifully done.  Robin Sharma
• The moment you start The Project, everything shifts. Purpose, focus, passion and peace returns to your life. Eyes sparkle. Energy explodes. Inspiration flows. And your days become supported by coincidence, power and peak possibility. Robin Sharma
• Become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid. Lady Bird Johnson
• Your devotion eventually becomes your BEAUTIFUL OBSESSION. You practice it daily. Constantly. Consistently.  You have no time for TV and Call of Duty video games and Twitter or gossip. You need and hunger to do that thing that fills you. That inspires you. That gives you precious glimpses of your greatest self.  Robin Sharma
• People with great projects afoot habitually look further and more clearly into the future than people who are mired in day- to- day concerns.  Robert Grudin
• A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment. Seneca
• There can be no richer man or woman than the individual who has found his or her labor of love. Personal fulfilment through the virtue of work is the highest form of desire. Work is the conduit between the supply and the demand of all human needs, the forerunner of human progress, and the medium by which the imagination is given the wings of action. A labor of love is exalted because it provides joy and self- expression to those who perform it. Dennis Kimbro 
• Immerse yourself in what you do

To do what you love requires courage and determination 

• You know, I have a theory that absolutely everyone in life knows what they need to do in order to become happy. It’s just that most aren’t brave enough to take the steps to do it. Karl Moore
• There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen. Wayne Dyer
• The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it. Debbi Fields
• Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong. Ella Fitzgerald
• ‘What will they think of me?’ must be put aside for bliss. Joseph Campbell
• Why do they always teach us that it’s easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It’s the hardest thing in the world–to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want. Ayn Rand
• Courage,  Determination

If you’re not enjoying your life, change something 

• I look in the mirror every morning and ask myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Steve Jobs
• You’ve got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you’re not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.  Steven D. Woodhull
• Every once in a while, ask yourself the question, “If money weren’t a consideration, what would I like to be doing?” Jackson Brown Jr.
• He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day…needs to reorganize his life. George Matthew Adams

Stop doing what you don’t enjoy 

• If you hate doing something, figure out a way to stop doing it. This can sometimes be very easy, but other times it means eventually making a drastic life change. Leo Babauta
• Dropping the things I hate frees me up to do the things I love. How much more skillful, soulful, and useful could your best work get if you didn’t spend so much energy pushing yourself into doing stuff you hate? Leo Babauta

• Enjoyment
