How To Fall In Love With Hard Work

There’s no movie montage.There’s no Rocky music.There’s no one following you with a camera.

What most people think “hard work” looks like just isn’t the case.

Hard work is getting out of bed when it’s cold and the sun hasn’t come up, yet.Hard work is having the difficult conversation with your teammate and redirecting their behavior.Hard work is trying to empathize with someone you totally disagree with.

And it’s the hard work that pushes us to our limits and tests our discipline.

It’s the hard work that helps challenge us to be better versions of ourselves.

What great opportunity!

This gratitude for challenging circumstances can totally transform our outlook!Even when you drop the ball and mess up: the good news is that every day, we get another shot.No matter how bad yesterday was, the sun just keeps coming up.It’s relentless!Just like you.
