Work can be hard and yet our workplaces are an incredible opportunity in crafting a fulfilling life. We know from research there are true "hard parts" to human happiness woven into a robust and fulfilling life. Happiness is not simply joy, laughter and elation alone. There is another part we often ignore. Living a life with purpose, developing mastery, serving others, teamwork, and relationships all have hard parts. Mastery and growth can be especially hard and often come with discomfort, mistakes, struggles which are all very natural and not always enjoyable in the moment. We can’t just wave a wand and expect the hard parts of work to just go away, but by leaning into these hard parts we’re crafting a life with purpose, pride and pleasure.
