Monday Motivation - Love What You Do

Happy Monday, IABX community!

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs

This Monday, let’s take a moment to reflect on what it means to truly love the work we do.

In a world that often glorifies hustle and constant productivity, it’s easy to forget that passion, not pressure, is what brings out our best. When we are connected to our purpose, when we wake up excited to create, teach, write, build, or serve, something shifts. Our energy changes. Our attitude improves. And our work? It transforms into something meaningful.

Steve Jobs’ words are a powerful reminder that excellence doesn’t come from simply clocking in and out—it comes from the heart. It comes from finding joy in the process, inspiration in the mission, and fulfillment in the journey. Whether you’re an author writing the next great novel, a parent guiding your children, a small business owner following a dream, or a student working toward a goal, the love you bring into what you do will always shine through.

That doesn’t mean the road will always be smooth. There will be challenges, slow days, doubts, and setbacks. But when you love what you do, those obstacles become stepping stones. They become lessons that build your resilience and push you forward.

So today, ask yourself: What do I love most about what I do? What makes me feel alive? What am I grateful for in this work, this journey, this path I’ve chosen?

Let that love be your compass. Let it guide you through the tough moments and elevate you in the great ones. Because the truth is, when your heart is in it, your work becomes more than just work—it becomes your legacy.

This Monday and every day, strive not just to do the work—but to love the work.

Have a great week!
