People ask me all the time about my love of football or the theater because I used to play in the NFL and wrote a play that went to Broadway. They assume that I love them and that’s not true.
It’s not that I love football or performing a play. What I love (and what I encourage you to fall in love with) is the work it takes to get there. I love practice. I love the unreasonableness it takes to put in the hours with no guarantees that what you’re working toward is ever going to happen. That’s what I love.
Think about that in your own life. What do you love? I love the sweat and the blood and the early mornings and the grind that it takes. I love that no one might believe I can make my dream come true.
You’ve got to fall in love with rehearsal, practice and all those things no one else wants to do. The minute you fall in love with that, you’re going to find yourself standing on the equivalent of a Broadway stage or an NFL field.
Fall in love with the process and the results take care of themselves.
Can you do that?
