Hard Work... Is Hard.

The thing about a hero is: even when it doesn't look like

there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging,

going to keep trying to do right and make up for 

what's gone on before, just because that's who he is.

~Joss Whedon

To find any measure of lasting success or change, you will have to change your definition of "hard".

You're also going to have to adjust your attitude about hard work.

This change must happen regardless of where you live, how much you make, how bad the economy is, who's standing in your way, what's preventing you from succeeding, or any other excuse for failure.

For the vast majority of us, our lives, our jobs, our family situations, our circumstances - are not hard.  Our frustration makes it hard, perhaps our lack of knowledge or experience too.

Of course, getting the knowledge and experience to avoid that kind of frustration is going to have to come from - you guessed it - working hard.
