I think this is a dangerously half-true way of thinking.

Yes, there are times when hard work feels great, and it's absolutely worth seeking out this kind of work.

But any serious endeavor is going to have times that are a slog, and your ability to stick with it through the bad times will very directly dictate your ability to get back to the good times.
