It's over now but this week was one of those weeks that offered up many challenges; it wasn't a bad week at all, in fact a lot went right, but I had to work for it, push hard and apply discipline as well and that can often be tiring. Of course, that's not something I'm not used to but sometimes it's be nice to have an easier run rather than having to grind it out for results.
Thinking on it though, would I be as grateful and happy with the results I gained the easy way?
I know many who would say they would be but while it's nice to have a few things fall out of the sky onto a silver platter now and then I actually like the feel of gaining reward through effort, it makes the reward feel much better and I respect it more.
I think that's not as popular these days generally but back a while ago so many would have agreed with me; they would rather sit back after striving towards a goal or result they eventually achieved content they earned it rather than having things come easy; I think it's good for self-esteem, confidence and a good way to build a solid platform to work from for next time.
When things come easy I'm not sure people appreciate or respect them as much, I mean generally speaking, so yeah...a week of struggle, effort and consistently striving towards my goals seems like a good pay off for the benefits that brought me...and it's the weekend so time to relax.
Do you appreciate and respect the things you have to work harder for more than those that come easy? Feel free to comment and share your thoughts and examples of you like.
