Work Hard?

Yes, this is the formula we have been sold to achieve success. I, too, took the bait a long, long time ago. And I don't regret it, even though I didn't achieve the success that everyone thought back then.

Now, I know, there is nothing wrong or right with hard work. It's just that there is no equivalence to providing success and enjoyment in the permanent doing.

The heart of the matter is to find something that fulfills you and that you can share and that pays well with it.

There are many things that I like, but they are distanced from me by satisfying basic needs. In that sense, alchemy is, in part, articulating your pleasurable actions with the painful ones to harmonize means and ends and be happy in the process. In this aspiration, work ceases to be hard and becomes pleasurable.

In any case, the quest continues, and the purpose persists.

Greetings.
