Wisdom is of the ages, is it not? Truth is truth and it is what we seek at 240withbill. Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, known by other names too and considered a deity by those who follow Taoism, said something simple and pure,

“Because of a great love, one is courageous.”

Have you seen Chorus Line? Oh boy, where is he going now? Quoting Chinese philosophers is one thing, but now Broadway in the same blog?! The famous refrain, What I did for love, such a beautiful and lovely and heart-wrenching song…my suggestion, youtube Johnny Mathis singing this song. He was at his peak and you will be blown away. Then play it again. It’ll give you strength.

What do you do for love? Chorus Line spoke of one thing but Lao Tzu spoke of that and more. Does love give you courage? Damn right it does! There is no obstacle so great that will stop you from your goal when your motivation is love.

Whether one other person or your family or your career. Yes I said it. If you don’t love your career, change it. But don’t live life with regret. Where there is love, there should be no regret. As the song says, what you do for love should hold no regrets.

A word of caution. Love is there because love is there. You can’t force it. You can’t justify it. It is. That’s all. Welcome it. Embrace it. But it must be true and honest and honest and true. You can’t talk yourself into it. You can’t plan it. If you try that, courageousness does not follow. True love makes you courageous. Recognize what is true and be courageous.

Now use that and go back out there and Make it a Great Day!
