And sometimes, you just have to immerse yourself in your work and work hard. Entering the flow state of getting shit done helps melt away a lot of the extra bullshit. And it feels good to work hard. Often your brain doesn’t want to believe it at the outset, but it’s almost always true in the end. It’s almost like you have to trick yourself into it, into just starting. Because once you’re in it, you won’t want to stop; your focus will be consumed by the task at hand.

Remembering these simple truths can provide encouragement for the future, for the world. We can accomplish so much when we work hard. Imagine what we can achieve working hard together.
