Thank you, for the positive and uplifting message. Without hard work, commitment and sacrifice, little that is worth having is possible. Here's Nietzsche weighing in:
What is essential “in heaven and on earth” seems to be, to say it once more, that there should be obedience over a long period of time and in a single direction: given that, something always develops, and has developed, for whose sake it is worthwhile to live on earth; for example, virtue, art, music, dance, reason, spirituality—something transfiguring, subtle, mad, and divine.
That's the dao, the path, the direction in which you walk. You have to be obedient to your higher voice who knows the direction.
Nietzsche was a wise man, misunderstood by many.
