Success

If you're really honest, you've got to admit - you will eventually leave your current job. One way or another - on your own or with help of a supervisor. (Let's hope it's the former.) Whether it's this year or next year - or five years from now - it's only a matter of time.

Many people subscribe to the Protestant work ethic, which says you must work hard to prosper. But success does not require struggle and suffering. It can be effortless, meaning that you are having fun while pursuing your goals, even when you're working incredibly hard.

We humans (that means me included) often get stuck in a hamster wheel of habit. We do things that aren't good for us, remain where we shouldn't and put ourselves through voluntary suffering all in the name of comfort. We don't know these things are damaging, because it's normal to us.
