Fulfillment does not lie in comfort, ease, and following one’s inclinations, but precisely in allowing demands to be made upon you, in taking the harder path. Everything else turns out somehow boring, anyway. Only the person who recognizes an ideal he must satisfy, who takes on real responsibility, will find fulfillment. It is not in taking, not on the path of comfort, that we become right, but only in giving.
Pope Benedict XVI

I hate t argue with the Pope, but this doesn’t apply to EVERY person. I get where he is coming from, but I am an HR girl and I know that different people find satisfaction doing different kind of tasks. Predilection for difficulty is just one of them. Comfort on the other hand is another generator of satisfaction or fulfillment.
