Don't worry ... it's supposed to be hard.

Here’s what you’ve got to realize, guys. If you’re men, your ... life ... is ... work. You’re supposed to be tired; it’s supposed to be tough; all this ‘other stuff’ is not what you’re supposed to be doing. I’m supposed to go to bed tired and satisfied in my labor. I’m supposed to invest my life in the next generation. I’m supposed to die to self – ‘unless a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abideth alone’.
