If you believe in something, be passionate about making it happen. No matter what.
When you’re passionate about something
You can’t eat or sleep without thinking
About that and nothing else.
When you have a passion for getting something done, almost nothing stands in your way. Whether you’re working on an epic project or waiting to make a phone call, there’s a drum beating in your heart to get at it. I often talk about the marathon-like amount of effort and time it took to get the right tools in place to have a paperless HR environment (from applications to separation, and everything in between). There were no IT tools or expertise in the beginning to make that dream happen – the state of computer technology just wasn’t there yet. When something like that happens, you try any available options hoping one or more of them will work. But when they don’t, you can’t give up – you’ve got to go back to the drawing board, talk to your colleagues (and anyone else) to keep looking for the solution. In my case, that took 14 years. Too long (I kept thinking). But I continued to dream, design, and try to make it happen. Often the only one still dreaming and believing was me. But my passion was so deep that it kept me going. Don’t lose heart until your dreams come true today.
