the only thing that makes it worthwhile is truth.
Truth doesn't bring happiness or make things easier necessarily easier. In fact the truth can be considered by many to be depressing. Most people would rather go back into the Matrix

Courage is according yourself honesty, even if you don't go right into undertaking so pressing a feat you fear but know you need to, even if you don't want to, and even if it should take years or even a lifetime, for surely, at some point, you will amass the courage. And it does not come by thinking it so. Thinking is only one of many acclimations to that end. And such is the way of courage, for it, too, is a perspective. For you do exhibit bravery even where you carry the shroud of that aversion to fostering courage; and if this should impress to be folly, then surely it evidences strength in you that so daunting a fear should be carried for so long and still fall short of the resolve. Neither fear nor courage are creatures likely to pander to the fitness of time: that is, there is never a dedicated time in which these two entities are not accessible and present or to which one is any more or less subject to the former or indisposed to the latter, for if this were true, the world would bear all at once or none at all and could not share as witness that courage can indeed be had and thus the fear extinguished. So courage is to admit within yourself, even if you keep to quietude of your fear to all others until ready, which silence may be just the portion needing borne before there arises fearlessness. Maybe to conquer a present state is not the want by the force that brings the opposite of courage, anyway. I mean, who says that it must be conquered at once? There exists the gestation periods; there exists saturation, at which point one finally steps out, remove of all trepidation and doubt, free from all analyses, and endeavors to do at once what before was impossible to surmount. Therefore, courage is keeping to your own time and reference, not that of any other's. Having and nurturing and displaying courage, I believe, consists of tackling the little things piece-meal just as surely and much as slaying the Goliath of things all at once: there are the autumn windfalls as well as the jackpots. Courage is an invaluable thing and cannot be readily measured except to say that we may know that it is invaluable.

Father Cavanaugh: Son, in 35 years of religious study, I have only come up with 2 hard incontrovertible facts: there is a God and I'm not Him. (from the movie Rudy)
That truth is the first step to finding God. To find God, to know God and to enjoy Him forever. That ought to make it worthwhile.

The ONE thing: finishing your task.
If you aren't working because the work needs to be done, then you are working for the wrong reason.
If you work for a reward other than accomplishing the task the work completes, you are confused as to the meaning of work.
Other good things can (and I hope do) happen to you, and people may respect you more, but the purpose of work is the result.

Easy. Self acceptance. If you become brutally honest with yourself the point/goal is to make it so you no longer have to decieve yourself and are perfectly comfortable with yourself just the way you are. It's a very peaceful feeling.

$27.00
I know it sounds crazy, but it just so happens that everybody who takes the time and trouble to struggle through such an excruciating process, is sent $27.00!
It may not sound like a lot but it all adds up: being brutally frank with a friend -you're sent $22.00, and admitting that you lied to yourself ($12.75 per occurrence) .

love makes all things worth while
though it hurts and it not always a fairy tale story
its probably the best thing that god has given us
to tell the truth i don't think i could
live or have survived if i didn't meet my
love right now.
im not sure that this pertains to this question
but i believe truly in love
