Yeah it is, because it sucks you in. I'm working hard, I have not achieved any significant success yet, but I really love the whole lifestyle of work, work, work. And it's a mish mash, sometimes I get to work on really interesting stuff, sometimes it's super boring, but I learned to appreciate even the boring. Or learn to appreciate pain that comes from doing the same boring thing over and over. I'm big on Zen practice. This is the key for me. I do 40 - 60 min of formal practice every day and I try to put it in other activities, including work. I even have a journal were I measure my mental state based on various objective criteria - i.e. what was my body awareness when I was working - this is somehow makes me love it, and especially the boring stuff, because then it's not only about doing the work, but training my mental state while doing the work. Because the key thing is, and that's the whole reason I write this message, is that if you learn to love something as boring as sitting still or walking circles around the room, and seeing how there's an endless potential for improvement on such a simple thing, you will see that everything is interesting. That kind of engagement can be developed. And I'm talking about engagement, yes. Engagement equals happiness.
