Do what feels like play to you but looks like work to others
Doubling down on your zone of genius will give you an unfair advantage in life.
Hello there beautiful people! My name is Ash Lamb, and this is The Visual Growth Letter. An illustrated newsletter about life and creativity.
Sometimes we stop focusing on what we love the most and are the best at because, to us, it feels like play and not like work.
ㅤ
When we look around and see everyone suffering at work, we can't help but feel guilty.
ㅤ
"This is too good to be true!" we tell ourselves.
ㅤ
"I must be scamming people. There's no chance someone's paying me a good amount to do what I love the most."
ㅤ
"I'll stop and learn a "real skill" so I can feel worthy of love and recognition."
ㅤ
When in reality, you've struck something orders of magnitude more valuable than gold, your zone of genius. You just don't know it.
ㅤ
If you're lucky enough to have discovered what you're truly good at, and you love it, do yourself a big favor and keep working at it.
ㅤ
That's precisely what will give you the competitive edge and leverage to conquer the world in your own unique way.

Super rad article. The person who loves what they do will always go further than the person in it for anything else.
