“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” President Theodore Roosevelt
Do hard things.
Do hard things that force you to become more.
Do hard things that force you to become more, that improve the world.
Do hard things that force you to become more, that improve the world and pay you appropriately.
This is ikigai, the combination of passion, mission, vocation, and advocation that is truly the best of all possible things to work on. It fully unleashes your abilities in a way that positively impacts others and yourself.
Work for that prize.
