There are actions that we must or want to take each day to make life beautiful. Yet sometimes we dread to take them because of the effort involved in taking them. But there's a better way, a way that would ensure that we stay motivated to take the actions and do so without fail.
If it's cleaning your house, can you think of ways to make the task effortless? Can you simply the process?
If it's exercising, can you think of ways to make your workouts pleasurable? Is there music you would like to listen to while you exercise? Can you shifts your workouts to ones that you find pleasurable?
If it is reading, can you focus on reading material that is interesting and enjoyable to you? Could you do find a reading place that feels luxurious to you?
For mundane tasks such as cooking or cleaning or ironing, can you plan to turn on captivating podcasts to listen to while you do them?
Just because things have to be done doesn't mean they have to be hard. Life is to be enjoyed. So find ways to simplify your life. Find ways to make your activities effortless.

Volume 13, Issue 25: Work Hard
Many outcomes in life require effort. Some outcomes require effort and luck. Some outcomes require only luck. So what is one to do when the requirement for an outcome is known or unknown? Work hard.
You can never go wrong with working hard. When you work hard, you get what you are in pursuit of if the results depend on effort alone. When you work hard and the results depend on effort and luck, you rest assured that you did all you could to influence the outcome. When you work hard and the results depend on luck alone, whether or not you get the outcome, you are better off for having exerted yourself.
Working hard in the right things builds you up, irrespective of whether or not you attain what you are pursuing. You are never worse off for working hard. Working hard always leaves you in a better place than you were before you put in the effort.
Working hard has several intrinsic benefits, regardless of whether you achieve the specific goal you are aiming for. These include character building, skill development, self-improvement, confidence building, learning experience, habit formation, resilience, sense of purpose, positive reputation and intrinsic satisfaction.
"Work hard. If results depend on effort, then you will carry yourself far. If results depend on effort and luck, then you will have done what you can do to influence the outcome. If results depend on luck alone, then the outcome is random, but you will have won the battle with yourself." James Clear.
