Hard Work

Pursuing what you want doesn't require "hard work." 

It simply requires specific steps made in a specific way.

Those steps in themselves are neutral and objective. 

Not hard work or little work.

Just steps.

As long as your desire for what you want is great enough, the idea of hard work is not real.

The work doesn't feel hard. 

It's just automatic.

If you constantly feel like what you do is a chore, something you have to push through rather than something you want to do, you might want to consider pursuing something else.

Imagine going up against a competitor who loves what they do and feel excited about it.

While for you it feels like hard work.

You're in a disadvantaged position.
