Liking it
jasonleow • 7 May 2026 •
Success is liking myself, liking what I do, and liking how I do it.
Does the work and the people there make me feel smaller? More anxious and stressed? Or does it help me grow and feel pride about myself, even if it feels uncomfortable?
Do I love the work? Love the concept of me being called that? Does it fulfil me knowing this is my role? Or does it drain me? Do I say “I am a ___” proudly, or half-heartedly or even ashamedly?
Do I enjoy the tiny details of the task? The seconds and minutes in between starting and finishing it? Does it give me joy? Spark curiosity? Make me want to learn more?
If the answers are mostly affirmative, then this is success right there.
Money is nice. Status is nice. MRR is nice.
But these three ways of liking it, are necessary.

@Winkletter YASSSS. Love makes the sacrifice worth it
The more you love, the higher the gain is turned up, and the more slight disturbances cause stress.
