There are two basic solutions: Enjoy the process more than you love the outcome. Some call this „passion” (see the talk at the end of the blog post for details on the word „passion”). So, you should love the work, even if others would find it hard/difficult. Like I love the Internet. Like I love to write. Like I love to talk with others. I would do these even if I would lose on other fronts. I could take a training which would require lots of efforts. I could browse the Internet hours and days. I could write a lot. I am enjoying the process a lot. For this, even if you don’t get instant feed-back on your work, you should still be able to do a good job. Enjoy the outcome more than you enjoy the process. Find a meaning. It’s best to find an inner meaning, a greater goal (do good in the world, get to heavens, leave your mark, be the someone you always wanted to be). If not, find external meaning. Help others. Educate. Be part of something. Be accountable. Take responsibility. Have a family. Join a volunteering association. Mentor someone. The motivation (internal or external) can beat the forces trying to stop you. For this, find something which gives you some feed-back. So, if you feel low, you don’t feel like working, find either something you love doing or work on your motivation. About the word „passion” The word „passion” comes from: 1125–75; Middle English  (< Old French ) < Medieval Latin passiōn-  (stem of passiō ) Christ’s sufferings onthe cross, any of the Biblical accounts of these (> late Old English passiōn ), special use of Late Latin passiō suffering, submission, derivative of Latin passus,  past participle of patī  to suffer, submit; see -ion (source) „Passion” …

„Steeping your tea allows you to impart the nutrients found in the tea leaves to the water or liquid you are steeping the leaves in; however, over-steeping imparts more nutrients and flavors from the tea leaves, according to a study published in a 2007 issue of the „Journal of Chromatography.” Over-steeping your tea may result in bitter tea, but this can be avoided by utilizing a proper temperature to brew the tea. This means 106 degrees Fahrenheit for green tea and 200 degrees Fahrenheit for black tea, according to Planet Tea. Over-steeping imparts more of the antioxidant properties of the tea into the liquid you consume. These antioxidants, such as ECGC, have been researched in regards to cancer prevention. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine states that this research has shown that green tea drinkers have decreased risk of cancers such as breast, stomach and skin.” (Health Benefits of Over-Steeping Tea | LIVESTRONG.COM) Also, 175°F = 79.4°C 195°F = 90.6°C 205°F = 96.1°C 208°F = 97.8°C
