Love Of The Thing

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
It don’t mean a thing all you got to do is sing
(doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it’s sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you’ve got
Don’t mean a thing all you’ve gotta do is swing
It don’t mean a thing all you’ve gotta do is sing -song “It Don’t Mean A Thing” by Ella Fitzgerald (original composition by Duke Ellington)

“The opportunity cost of investing your life in something that’s not going to get better is just too high.” -Seth Godin, The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” -Steve Jobs

It’s okay if the reasons you’re doing the thing now are different than your original reasons for doing the thing.

Industries evolve. Perspectives broaden and deepen. Your own life changes.

But if you don’t have love of the thing, it’s time to leave the thing.

Cuz without love, you ain’t got a thing.
