When I work on what matters
I had an awesome realization this morning. So amazing that I’ve decided to open up my notes to start writing this blog post immediately. The question is: How do you know that you are working on what matters? For me, it’s a burst of excitement that needs to be controlled so I can produce something meaningful.
Recognizing the pattern of purpose
I’ve experienced this a few times in my life already and when I reflect back on those periods, the pattern can be clearly noticed:
- It is when I wake up excited to tackle the goals given day has in store for me.
- It is when I cannot stop thinking about how to improve some aspect of my workflow in the project.
- It is when my ideas are endless, requiring prioritizing the work so something tangible can be delivered in a realistic time.
- It is when my imagination is saying go and my physical being is paralyzed, waiting for instructions.
The power of vision, purpose & action
I consider myself being lucky to conclude this: Whenever I am working on anything like this, there is vision, purpose & action in one package. This is whenever I can see positive impact of my work in the world which may not be immediate and it may be visible later, but that is the vision I am willing to work towards for extensive period of time.
Fuel my fire, and I am unstoppable
Give me that kind of a thing and I am unstoppable.
