That’s how meaningful work goes.
It’s harder than anticipated.
It’s slower than expected.
It’s less instantly gratifying.
There are more speed humps than we thought there would be.
Even with this knowledge, we’ll still dive into the next project with hope that it’ll be different.
But it won’t, because we’re not doing the work that makes work easier, faster, more instantly gratifying and without adversity; we’re doing work that’s different, impactful and beneficial to others more than it will ever be to ourselves.
Stay Positive & It’s The Work Worth Doing
