Let's try something. Can you tell me how many times you've played your favorite sport/game/hobby? Probably not. Can you tell me how many times you've done something you dislike/hate? Chances are its never or once. But there is a grey area inbetween. When you start working on something interesting, take a step back and ask yourself: Am I keeping count? If the answer is YES then you might want to reconsider how devoted your are to that project.

When you keep count, the activity you are doing has become a chore. A box that you check off to say that you did it. And when you are persuing your passions or goals keeping count usually fades away. Let's go back to counting your favorite sport/game/hobby. Because doing the activity is fulfilling and important to you, it's easy to lose track to how often you do it. Because the amount of times is not important. The act of doing it is.

You know you've really found something you love, when you do it so much that you couldn't possibly keep count.
