Do what you love

You are most likely to be successful if you do what you love, that is, what interests and motivates you. It may well be what you are naturally good at and you'll tend to enjoy doing it.

But you need to know what you love or might come to love.

And you need to love things that are good, true and beautiful.

It's no good thinking that you love selling illegal drugs when you really aren't satisfied in doing it and are bad at it, whereas your true vocation is selling great books at which you'd be brilliant and brilliantly happy, or whatever.

Sometimes, of course, we will need to do some unpleasant things for the sake of that which we love.
