Evolution Of A Man

Something has happened to my work ethic. I’m not sure if it’s the years I’ve spent droning away at jobs that didn’t excite me, or if I’m getting old, or if I’m just being lazy; but my work ethic is definitely not what it used to be.

If I’m being honest with myself, I’m working at about 40-50% of what I KNOW I can accomplish. I know I am capable of putting way more energy into the opportunities I’ve been given, and the work that I’ve been called to do. I could turn some shit out…I just know I can! And, really, this goes for every area of my life- my work life, my social life, my blog life, my health & diet life…everything! I am blessed to have a job that most people would kill for; and though I don’t at all think I’m wasting this opportunity, I know I could be kicking its ass, as opposed to playfully slapping it around.

So, what do I do? How do I fix this? I’m not looking to take on, say, Beyonce’s work ethic (that bitch crazy); but I definitely want to cultivate a healthy, strong work ethic that will lead to the life, lifestyle and accomplishments of my dreams. Every person whom I have ever considered a hero and/or inspiration  (Oprah, Will Smith, Beyonce, Ryan Seacrest) has ALWAYS given their all to their work, and played the game of life at 100%, if not 110%. I have to do the same. I suppose it all simmers down to owning my work and making the necessary sacrifices to get it done. I’m troubled that I haven’t yet found my passion, but I realize that it won’t be found if I sit idly doing nothing. The work that I’m doing now will lead me to the work that inspires and fuels me beyond understanding. Everything to that point is practice and education; so it makes sense that I must play at 100% now, in order to prepare me for being able to handle that passion once it is revealed to me.

What does this all mean? Basically, bitch Will…get’cho ass up at 8 instead of 9:30/10:00; get off the blogs (unless it’s your own) and get on those scripts-n-shit; put down those potato chips and pick up a damn carrot; and stop waiting for success to find you. Hunt that heifer down like she was a former lover who massacred you & everybody in the sanctuary at your wedding rehearsal, and u want sweet-ass muthaf*ckin’ revenge!

Plan your work, then work your plan…period! You have too much to do, and too high to soar to be standing by idly. Make the sacrifices and get to work! That is all.
