The secret to a meaningful life is something that most don’t want to hear, do your best, give it your all. ~Chad Howse

Hard work is a necessity for a human. It’s right up there with air and sex and shooting guns. We need hard work and it provides us with so much more happiness than what the majority of us aspire to create in our lives, ease.
Ease isn’t measurable. There is no goal nor reward for achieving said goal. There is no purpose to ease, no reason for its existence, thus, a life focused on ease, on relaxation, on ass sand and beer in hand is also devoid of reason or purpose.
Yet, as previously stated, this is the pursuit of the masses, to live a life without the thing that makes us feel we’re apart of something, made for some reason other than wasting space and air.
Work is so vital yet it’s so hated, making those who see its beauty and necessity and the diamonds found underneath its rough exterior far more likely to succeed in life if succeeding in life is defined as serving a purpose than those who would rather let their hair dreadlock and sing songs around a campfire.
The secret to meaning in life, which is something we all crave, isn’t to simply exist, but to exist for some purpose. And that purpose is your choice. (Read This: Find Your Purpose and Follow It to Greatness)
It’s also completely a matter of perspective.
It doesn’t matter what you do, what matters is how you see that it’s connected to others, you see its purpose and you work at becoming great at whatever it is that you’re doing.
The fact that most other people are trying to find ways to avoid work means that you have a distinct advantage in that you’re awake to its necessity and you’re willing to do what they’re scared of doing.
When they’ve sat on that beach for long enough and realized that they haven’t found what they were looking for, you’ll have created the meaning that every human craves by working your butt off and becoming great at whatever line of work you’ve chosen to do.
