Known and loved

There are things you love to do.
And there are things you have to do.
For the lucky ones, there’s overlap.

But when there’s daylight between the two, remember this: you can become known for what you love to do — not just for what you have to do.

The accountant isn’t just the accountant, but the early-morning ocean swimmer.
The landscaper isn’t only the landscaper, but the local stand-up comic.
The engineer isn’t just the engineer, but the skilled baker who makes a remarkable sourdough.

Most of us wear multiple hats. How we’re known — and remembered — isn’t always defined by the hat that pays the bills.
