The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do

by Jeff Goins

As you strive to achieve your life’s work, be careful of at what costs you chase it. It will be easy to resent those closest to you, to make your biggest supporters into your worst enemies. To hoard your work away from the rest of life. You may be tempted to see every relationship not as a lifeline, but as a competing force, something to be mistrusted. And in doing this, you may destroy the very things that could save you.

Life is not a support system for your work; your work is a support system for your life. No amount of success is worth losing the ones you love the most.
