“Love the humble art you have learned, and take rest in it. Pass through the remainder of your days as one who whole-heartedly entrusts all possessions to the gods, making yourself neither a tyrant nor a slave to any person.”

- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 4.31

Deadlines cause anxiety. Coworkers can cause conflict. When work is a grind, it causes strife. All this can get in the way of enjoying our craft.

If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.

Conclusion

We can learn how to manage deadlines. We can choose how to engage with our coworkers. We can decide to enjoy our work. We can love what we do.
