He thinks
he cultivated a company culture
that motivated me
and brought out my best.

In reality,
I thought he was the father
I never had.

I was motivated
not to work hard,
but to get his love
instead of my father’s.

Why?
Because it was easier.

After all,
all it required
was to work hard.

Working hard
was not enough
for my father.

I’m glad
the culture didn’t block me
from seeking his love,
but it wasn’t the culture
that motivated me
or brought out my best.

Doing our best
does not guarantee
an ideal outcome.

In fact,
what doing our best can do
that doing less cannot
is expose to us
our limitations.

In such a way
that we become motivated
to either
accept our limitations
with our whole heart
or
embark on a journey of development
to extend the boundary
of our limitations.

One
of the most powerful motivators
can be our need
to prove we are right.

One
of the most power transformations
can start
when we are proven wrong.
