The easy work is always an option. We can live a lifetime of doing the easy work.

Doing the hard work takes effort. Contributing emotional labor takes intention and vulnerability.

The thing is, the hard work feeds you. When you give with generosity and selflessness, it comes back to nourish you.

Spend a day doing the easy work and that night, you’ll feel empty.

Spend just a little time doing the hard work, and soon you’ll feel a swell of energy that endures.
