My cousins and I have a running text chain that we’ve kept open for about four years now. There are five of us, and we talk about everything, from sports to life.

One morning, one of my cousins shared this quote that has stuck with me. I thought we’d use it for today.

"This has been in my mind the past couple of days...

Show me somebody who is truly GREAT at what they do, and I'll show you someone who really cares about THE WORK.  Notice I didn't say he or she really cares about the rewards, the fame, the money, the treasure, etc. - no, they really care about THE WORK.

If you really care about what you do, go and be great.  If you don't, think about whether it's time to find something you really do care about."
