In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? – A good question from the daily writing prompt. I feel like I touched on this in another post recently, but I’ll give it another go.

The sense of accomplishment, that I’ve done something well, important, and to the best of my ability.

As part of a team, that feeling that you pulled your weight and maybe more where everyone was successful is rewarding because of the shared sense of accomplishment which in some ways is even more fun.

Physical hard work leaves my body feeling pumped. But as I age that pumped feeling lasts a shorter time and is replaced by pain. But the mind still feels good and stronger about the hard work regardless.

Hard work for someone who expresses appreciation is a reward that strengthens the heart.

Hard work for someone who doesn’t appreciate it cuts the heart.

Hard work presents other opportunities that present more fulfillment.

Some days hard work is just exhilarating.

Being a parent and having a family is hard work. But it’s been one of the greatest rewards in life for me.
