Learning how to enjoy work

what is work? work is effort toward a goal.

Doing anything requires working toward it. The work is upstream of everything.

Work is not doing things you don't want to do. Sometimes you have to work towards something you don't want to work towards, yes.

Avoidance of work is really avoidance of work you don't care about. When you find something you're interested in, you won't be averse to it.

Work is spending time constructively toward a purpose.

To work you need to learn to try. Earnestly give your complete attention to something.

Resistance is a force to contend with, but you can teach yourself how to find fulfillment in working hard on something you care about. You can learn to get excited about working toward something you believe in. You can manage your psychology!

The hard is what makes it great
