The Second 50

This question got me thinking. So what is hard work? Reality is that it means different things to all of us.

I think hard work is how someone really leans in to do something. It is about applying persistent effort to achieve a specific outcome – monetary or otherwise.

It can be physically or mentally taxing and requires commitment, self-discipline, and persistence. And as all of us would be oh so familiar with, it may involve overcoming challenges or setbacks.

Hard work can be seen as a vital trait that contributes to personal and professional success. While hard work in itself won’t guarantee outcomes – financial or otherwise – it significantly increases the chances of achieving goals.

I work hard. Sometimes, too much. And balancing everything is tricky. But it gives my life meaning and purpose. And, isn’t that what it’s all about?

Do what works for you, friends.
