I realised today that ‘hard working’ is something I perhaps used to see as a waste of some kind - opportunity, time, energy that could have been invested in being happy.
Now, however, that is a attribution I consider extremely positive and wish very much I could honestly allocate to myself. Until I gain this, I will always feel somewhat lacking.
To be fair, when it comes to some types of work, I would say that in bursts of frenzied activity I am extremely hard working. It is just not a constant trait which is a natural part of me. And it should be.
It will be.
