RE: DO YOU THINK THAT HARD WORK IS SYNONYMOUS OF SUCCESS?
It's funny. " I am more satisfied when accomplishing hard work, than doing the hardwork." That sounds like it should be true. I usually find the opposite is true - or at least, my excitement and my hopes are higher when doing the work, but the sense of accomplishment fades quickly, and it rarely meets my expectations. :) I'd certainly like to get to the point when reality meets my expectation!
I’m curious if enduring hard work is exciting because of the action of working hard in itself, or because we see the progress compound incrementally over time?
Let us use push-mowing the lawn as an example. Many find peace in the processes itself, but to many others, it is purely a a chore. To those that find peace in the work, perhaps it is a pleasing action because the difference is observed with each step taken in the process of mowing. Upon completion, some may feel much more satisfied because the product is a beautifully trimmed lawn.
Maybe we are more motivated by short term goals that end up leading to fulfilling our larger goals 🤔 we are very complex!
