In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?
Growing up on a farm, I was introduced early to hard work. I didn’t like it a bit. My dad had a favorite saying,”Time for the friendships to end and the work to begin.” He thought he had to antagonize us to motivate us. His methods did motivate me to educate myself so I’d never again be under anyone’s subjugation.
Fortunately, as I matured, I learned to take satisfaction in doing a good job, being pleased with my efforts. Good work is a fine companion.

This is not me
I have always thrived under affirmation, and withered under antagonization. I gather not many find themselves similarly motivated. It’s too bad!

Now days I often feel pleased with myself when I have a productive morning because it was only a year or so ago that I struggled to do anything

I love to work……there is something satisfying about completing a job, whether one I needed to do or one (even better) I chose to do. I am one of those that believes I need a purpose in my daily life.. I can’t just wander through life aimlessly. However, if I choose to relax for the odd day or two…I can do that very well :)
