Do Your Work – Plato

I just purchased the book, “2500 Years of Widsom – Sayings of the Great Masters” and it has inspired me to begin sharing a few while creating some art pieces to go along with each.  This first one is the following:

As simple of statement as you can make and yet so powerful. I like to take this quote and think of it more and “Do *YOUR* Work”. Do what YOU were meant to do and want to do. But know ahead of time, it isn’t going to be all roses; It’s going to be hard work to get where you want to be and what you want to become.

I also see this as “Take the hard road” or also known as “The road less traveled”. Do the right work for you and your life will full.

Lastly, I can see this also meaning “Don’t worry about others, do YOUR work”. I think this is also great advice in our voyaristic society always interested in what their neighbor is doing, wearing, thinking, being, etc. Do your work, let them do theirs.

Best,

ZZ
