Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #101 — Doing your work is it’s own reward.
Yes, you’re going to be unappreciated. You’ll be challenged and sabotaged. You’ll encounter epic failures. Your expectations will be unmet. And you will lose.
Given that, how will you choose to carry on? How will you take pride in yourself and your work?
“You are only entitled to the action, never to its fruits.” — Bhagavad-gita
