Give thanks for the days when you work hard and go to bed tired. You gave it your all, put it out there for the world to see, and now you can go to bed exhausted knowing you did your best. It’s a good day’s work, and it feels good.
Your work may not have yielded all the results you wanted. Your efforts may not have gotten all the people to stand up and take notice. All you did may not change the entire world, but you did change your world. The seeds you sew will come back. Maybe not in the timeframes you wanted, maybe not in the way you expected, maybe not even in a way that you recognize right away; but the seeds will grow and yield a harvest. Hard work does pay off.
Work hard and enjoy the sweat, the aching muscles, the tired brain, and the knowledge that your efforts will reap a harvest. Sometimes all we need to do is change our world one day of hard work at a time.
