βAny fool knows that to work very hard at something you want to accomplish is the only way to be happy.β β Eugene OβNeill
This is a starkly obvious statement that underscores the value of choosing a course you truly want to pursue and leaning into it with determination.
Working hard takes intention. If your goals donβt ignite your passion, you wonβt have the drive to push through challenges. Without that inner fuel, it’s all too easy to take a day off, slow down, or even change direction when setbacks or plateaus arise.
Knowing exactly what you want to work hard at is a blessingβthough not everyone has found it, or realized how crucial it is to pick a direction. These targets for happiness can be found in every aspect of life: at work, at home, in the church, in your community, or on the playing field.
But no matter where these goals lie, the unifying force is that they enhance your quality of life. Take an inventory of what truly matters to you. Make a deliberate choice, and then pursue it with all your might.
