The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it. — Mother Teresa

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

Author: Mother Teresa

Insight: We often think happiness comes after success, but sometimes it's the other way around—finding joy in the work itself transforms everything. When you stop waiting for the payoff and actually enjoy what's in front of you, that's when the real shift happens. Fulfillment isn't the reward; it's the fuel.
