Pick one desire at a time and pick it carefully

You know, if you there's the old saying, like, if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. It's a little exaggerated; it's more aspirational. Of course, there's all kinds of things you're going to have to do that you don't necessarily want to do in the short term, but it's for a greater cause, for a mission that you believe in.

But I would say definitely, you know, this all comes out of desire. We want certain things; we make sacrifices to get those things. You can basically get anything you want out of life as long as it's one thing. That's my learning. If you want to be, you know, rich, you can be rich. You're going to spend your entire life trying to be rich; that's what you're going to work on.

You want to be happy? You can spend your entire life being happy; you'll get it. That's what you'll work on. The problem happens when we have multiple desires, when we have fuzzy desires, when we sort of want to do ten different things, and we're not clear about which is the one that we care about.

I would suggest that you basically pick one fervent desire that you have above all else. Find a way to reach that desire where it doesn't feel like work. You enjoy the thing that you're doing so much, and on a general high level basis, that it won't feel like work. Then you'll outcompete everybody else.
