Why you should chase after hard work

I read somewhere that when you chase after hard work, money will come. I personally can relate to this.

I acquired new skills in broadcast journalism and I put myself out there to let people and organizations know the value I could add / what I could bring to the table that would benefit them.

This has become another income stream for me.

A lot of people have gotten involved in things that are not in line with the values they would live by if not for the thirst they have to be rich.

Hard work is the basis for everything worthwhile you will achieve in life — Wiki

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard — Tim Notke

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them — Ann Landers

A couple of bible verses that will help you see and understand the importance of chasing after hard work. Remember the only constant thing is Gods word.

Every other thing changes which is why it’s important we always see what His word says about our situation and issues of life.

Hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. Proverbs 14:23 NLT

Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. Proverbs 22:29 ESV

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 NLT

To wrap up this article, acquire new skills if you feel you don’t have any. Use social media to advertise yourself. Approach companies. Let people know what you do and the value you can give to their business.

Here’s a link to the video I made for this article. Why you should chase after hardwork

Enjoy your weekend!
