Doing anything worth doing is almost always going to be more difficult than you think it will be at the onset. But as Leonard Cohen said, “Why shouldn’t my work be hard? Almost everybody’s work is hard. One is distracted by this notion that there is such a thing as inspiration, that it comes fast and easy. And some people are graced by that style. I’m not. So I have to work as hard as any stiff, to come up with the payload.”
