After watching Roger Federer win his 20th Grand Slam title in Australia at the age of 36 this past weekend you have to wonder what keeps him going!?

Perhaps his ability to find joy and meaning in almost every aspect of his job.

“I enjoy practice,” Federer said, when asked how he maintains his motivation at this stage of his career. “Not minding the travel. Having a great team around me, they make it possible. At the end it’s seeing that my parents are incredibly proud and happy that I’m still doing it. They enjoy coming to tournaments. That makes me happy and play better.”

At the end of the day, Federer is just a guy who loves his job, and happens to be better at it than just about anybody is at anything.

When you can find the joy in every aspect of your job, you will never work a day in your life.
