Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines how, even though it won’t always be easy, you still have to get yourself out there and do the work. (2022 ver)
Achieving your dreams will not always be a straightforward track.
You need to be willing to battle, to fight and to keep pushing forward.
“Good people will do what they find honorable to do, even if it requires hard work; they’ll do it even if it causes them injury; they’ll do it even if it will bring danger. Again, they won’t do what they find base, even if it brings wealth, pleasure, or power. Nothing will deter them from what is honorable, and nothing will lure them into what is base.”
— SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 76.18
Aversion To Hard Work
Many have a strong, determined aversion to hard work.
Many avoid work at all costs!
The Shift
It would be in your best interest to shift your perspective on hard work.
Many see hard work as something negative — it uses time, energy, leaves you drained etc.
Due to the preconceived negative perspective, people do not want to work hard, and therefore try avoid it at all costs.
