Quote by Russell Simmons

“The person who understands Dharma will have the opposite reaction to a "hard" job. That person will be eager to get started, no matter what kind of work is in front of her, because she understands that she's doing God's work. And when you're working for God, nothing is too hard.”

By working our hardest and happily enduring the hardships of life we are able to create a sense of peace and clarity in ourselves.”
