I’m curious if enduring hard work is exciting because of the action of working hard in itself, or because we see the progress compound incrementally over time?

Let us use push-mowing the lawn as an example. Many find peace in the processes itself, but to many others, it is purely a a chore. To those that find peace in the work, perhaps it is a pleasing action because the difference is observed with each step taken in the process of mowing. Upon completion, some may feel much more satisfied because the product is a beautifully trimmed lawn.

Maybe we are more motivated by short term goals that end up leading to fulfilling our larger goals 🤔 we are very complex!
