Take It Easy Today!

I have never liked the word “hard work.” It feels as strenuous and forced as “constipation,” conveying a sense of being compelled and helplessly enduring suffering. If someone is engrossed in playing video games day and night, would anyone say they are working hard at it? No, people would only say they are having a blast and enjoying themselves!

Therefore, when you love your job or what you are doing, you will be immersed and fascinated by it. This feeling is effortless, the more you do it, the more you want to continue, and it nourishes you, leaving you as satisfied and happy as if you had a hearty meal. You won’t feel listless; instead, you’ll feel energized.

I am not advocating that you must find such a job or activity, but rather that you should discover joy in every normal job and task. “Finding” such a job is akin to buying a lottery ticket, waiting for the heavens to favor you, which is passive and lacks vitality. On the other hand, “discovering” is an ability to enhance adaptability and compatibility, turning waste into treasure. This way, you can live actively, infused with vitality. Only in this way can life be complete and whole.
