Loving what you do is for professionals.

"Doing what you love is for amateurs. Loving what you do is for professionals."  –Seth Godin

People that love what they do:

• Show up on time and do their work with focus and intention even when they are in a bad mood and may not feel like it. 

• Put in the extra time to maintain and further develop their knowledge, skills, and ability; 

• Make and keep promises whether or not they feel like it.

• Raise the bar, and understand who and what their obligations are (and what they are not). 

• They don't get hung up on feedback from others for who it's not.
• They care enough to spend the emotional energy needed to improve. 

• They understand that the only way to learn is by doing things. They do the work!

• They know the standards of their profession, their position, and they work and meet them.
