Deep dives

The power of completing the hard tasks

Completing the hard tasks, such as waking up early, working out, or tackling tedious tasks, brings a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Despite the initial resistance, it is known that completing these tasks leads to a positive outcome. Not doing the hard tasks causes feelings of inferiority and weakness, while completing them makes one feel strong and worthy of their life. The short-term gratification of avoiding these tasks leads to long-term regret and pain, while the pain of doing them will pay off in the future.
