ALL IN

A lack of commitment is a major self-imposed obstacle to success.

Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that the work isn't "worthy" of our best effort because we think the job is supposed to give us some meaning and a sense of worth.

This is a delusion.

The work is a transaction, an exchange of money for our labor.

Meaning and sense of worth come from personal growth, which leads to Transformation.

We need to clarify both of these concepts for ourselves. The Transaction is critical for our livelihood, and the Transformation is vital for our enjoyment of life over the long term.

A full commitment to both the Transaction (work) and the Transformation (growth) is how we achieve our goals and dreams.

It's the only way.

Don't expect either to provide something it can't, and don't think that anything less than our best effort will give meaningful results.

If you are going to work on your profession and yourself, the ALL-IN version is the only way to go.*
