TED.com blog ( Do you love what you do? By Gay Vaynerchuk

As soon as I played the video by speaker Gray Vaynerchuk entitled Do you Love What you do, I felt his energy and compassion. The video was pretty much a motivational speech challenging others to do what they love just as Vaynerchuck did by overcoming adversity from working seven years in a liquor store to owning his own company and television show called Wine Library T.V. This speech really inspired me because sometimes we as humans need a push from someone else before we actually do what makes us happy. It inspired me because at times I get frustrated because things don't move as fast as I'd like so I doubt my situation. But Vaynerchuck preaches passion and patience in his speech the two things you need to succeed at doing what you love. Although many things Vaynerchuck discussed in his speech I had  grew familiar with but he reiterated them and give a lot more reassurance with his story telling. For example,  he told stories of how he  worked several jobs and time was limited but during the night between 7pm to 2am in the morning he found a way to work on his craft and what he loved. This definitely helped me to stop procrastinating  and making excuses because when you're doing what you love you always find time to do it. Vaynerchuck has really helped me to believe in myself and made me realize you only get one life so you might as well spend it doing what you love. It may not be easy and you may not reap the bearing from the beginning but eventually it will come. Here the link to the outstanding speech by TED.com Gary Vaynerchuck.
