“Hard” Work vs. Focused Work – Focusing on the Should

Don’t we agree that hard work is so fulfilling?
 

Don’t we agree that chilling out is like the goal?

How do we know when to do what?

I think deeply, we know what we care about, and what we want. We often stray from ourselves, or spend time not with ourselves, and that’s when we absorb outside conditioning.

However, when we tune in, we oft find that there’s sheckles of meaning within us, which can help to fuel our work – there are things that we very much care about, that for one reason or the other, we allow to escape our view. When we retune and refocus, we realize there is a world within us – there is a beautiful reality which is waiting for our eyes to peer into, to illuminate, and once visible, becomes uncontainable – impossible to permanently put aside. This is the meaning of our life – it starts as a whisper, and roars into a crashing wave, rippling through cities – this is a supreme, powerful life energy, which helps us to unlock what we always knew and still know is possible, but we for layers of reasons, refuse to believe. When we harness it, however, it carries us to work in directions and strides that know no bounds – we know who we are; we know who we want to be, let’s strip away the cluttery bs, and connect with ourselves purely once again – there’s a whole world out there, let’s bring ours immersively into it, with it.

To do that, focus on the “should” – no matter how hard – it is what ingrains this purpose. The hardest shit for a reason.
