Have you ever noticed that many experiences in life begin as those you really don't want to do at the time, but when it's over, you're always glad you did them?
It could be working out, or not eating that third Big Mac, waking up early in the morning, or working overtime to make some extra cash.
The thought that runs through your head right before beginning one of these tasks is usually a large, resounding *GROAN*
But I've come to realize it's these tasks, not the ones we look forward to, or enjoy, that we feel the most pride in. We also feel better after doing them.
They're like medicine. Humans by nature, don't seem to like things that are good for them. Laziness, irresponsibility, a love of fast food... those come naturally. It's when we discipline ourselves to accomplish the tasks requiring effort and drive that we get that feeling of satisfaction upon completion.
Funny how that works, isn't it?
