Happiness is being able to say, “I still love doing this!” well into your career.
Sometimes you get bogged down in the daily to-do lists and are just trying to stay on top of what comes next.
But I hope that some part of your job, at least once in awhile, strikes you and you can honestly say, “I still love doing this!”
Almost a decade and 600,000+ words into writing here, and I still love doing it every day.
Twenty years into guiding ensembles, and I still leave my rehearsals in a glow – at least, most days!
Twenty five years into writing music as a vocation, and I still treasure the exploration and creation of the next piece.
I still love doing this! It’s hard, frustrating, exhausting, and too much. And yet!
