The best reward for your hard work is not what you get from it, but what you become thanks to it.
~ J. Ruskin
They explain to you how to achieve better results without any effort, without commitment, perhaps using all the technologies that science makes available to you, or, perhaps, they suggest the shortcuts to take to achieve success sooner. If at first, you are interested and intrigued then you understand that it is just an illusion, nothing is given for free, nothing, or almost nothing, falls from the sky, nothing you really get, but it is only an appearance.
It may seem like an oxymoron, but to feel good you need to work hard. Life, despite being wonderfully fantastic, is always accompanied by fatigue of varying intensity. And, success is accessible to those who are willing to work hard.
In a world where the concept of “everything now” is increasingly widespread, it is difficult to discover and appreciate the advantages of effort. However, without effort and commitment, there is no professional, sporting or personal success of any kind. Any entrepreneurial success is always preceded by a path of application, dedication, and sacrifice.
Those who put themselves on the line do not shy away from fatigue: they welcome it and immerse themselves in it for as long as necessary.
Nothing that has value is free. Achieving your goals requires effort, commitment, patience, and determination. Fatigue is the training path to be followed to refine one’s knowledge and skills. This is why it is always best to avoid following the advice of those who promise great success in a short time and with zero effort.
So we may ask ourselves, why in today’s world are fatigue and its correlates – commitment, application, discipline – considered as undesirable elements, to be avoided?
It’s very simple: fatigue is, in fact, a tiring thing!! He tests us and discovers our weaknesses and shortcomings. It is much more seductive to believe in easy success. The problem, however, is that easy success simply doesn’t exist. There are several counterproductive ways to try to avoid it, such as postponing it, delegating it to others, and looking for gimmicks or shortcuts. In the end, avoiding fatigue becomes a greater effort!!
Moreover, none of these behaviors lead to personal growth, professional improvement, and, ultimately, success.
The solution is to change our own attitude towards fatigue and learn to see it as a VALUE. Making it a valuable tool to achieve your goals
To transform effort into a value, one must accept it as an essential part of your path towards achieving your goal.
Secondly, it is useful to understand the reason for the fatigue. Why do I train every day sacrificing my time and rest? Why am I working late on this project? Why am I sacrificing my summer to prepare for this exam?
The moment you visualize the goal, fatigue is no longer so, and instead becomes a positive aspect of our existence.
In an era that claims to live without effort, which exalts comfort at all costs, but which in fact promotes physical, as well as emotional and mental laziness, we must stop considering fatigue as an obstacle and translate it into a value through which to achieve great achievements.
To get what one wants, you have to deserve it. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.
The biggest lesson to learn is that one cannot get everything right away. Hard work, commitment, sacrifice, and effort, work. Things of value are slow, painful, tiring, and demanding.
Success, the real one, is knowing how to read reality day after day and redefine objectives, priorities, and goals each time, aware that each point of arrival must represent the beginning of a new challenge.
Therefore, we don’t give up when fatigue makes itself felt because it is precisely at this moment that the discipline is strengthening and the results are closer.
