Work ethic doesn't magically appear once you have your dream job or quality of life.
If you're not willing to be diligent and conscientious with the small and seemingly insignificant roles/duties/tasks in life, don't expect much progress. Be excellent no matter where you are.
Car got broken into today and laptop stolen but my wife just sent me a video of my son taking his first steps and i don’t even care that much about the laptop anymore. Even on the worst days there’s a blessing to count 🙏🏾
