Miguel Mendoza argues that intense work feels amazing when it aligns with your vision and values. Most people dismiss hard work as unhealthy, but they've never experienced the high of pushing themselves to their limits, sacrificing for their craft, and watching themselves grow.
How hard are you really working? I don't know about you, but I don't encounter many people who are completely committed to their craft. We've reached a point now, like we're there in our society, where it is very unpopular to have a sickening, disgusting, completely committed, dedicated work ethic. It's not the norm. In fact, it goes against mental health. You could burn out. You could fall into a depression. I. I believe people who think this way don't know what it's like to push yourself to the limits, don't know what it's like to work your absolute best. Give everything you have, sacrifice, commit, work hard, work like you feel like you're about to go crazy, like your body's about to give out. If it's physical work and that feeling of growth, of progress, of even reaching a milestone in your journey, how amazing that feels.
