Love everything abt this! "I wanted to be a pimp and I realized I was actually pimpin' pimps." Loving work. Being an introvert. Going after your calling. Getting in touch w your authentic self. Getting past the sprint and staying in the marathon. "Hard work is preparation for a lucky day." Necessity breads creativity.
