The Myth of Hard Work

Dec 16, 2024

Hard work is often worn as a badge of honor. If someone works hard, then they “deserve” their successes. We might even say they have a “good” work ethic.


But if someone appears to attain a particular outcome without working hard, we might say they’ve got it too easy. Too easy compared to what?


Thom gives us some very clear guidelines in this episode on how to let Nature guide us on just how much effort is actually required for us to fulfill our dharma and to effectively meet the need of the time. 


Thom also helps us understand the distinction between effort and hard work. As is always the case, it’s merely a matter of perspective.
