I often romanticize the work. Naturally, the shadow of this habit of glamourising of the struggle is a failure to enjoy the ride. Folks like me, who make this mistake often don’t know how to stop and smell the roses. The struggle ultimately overpowers even the fruits of those labors.
If you’re reading this, there’s a chance that you’re a high achiever, too, and odds are you’re more likely to focus on the climb than others. If you aren’t able to enjoy the view from the summit, you likely could benefit from a nudge to relish in life a bit. 
I saw the above cartoon in the New Yorker and had to chuckle at myself a bit. As I preach to myself, I hope you can be encouraged to stop and smell the roses some. You’re working hard. Be kind to yourself.
