We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
33 One who knows other people is wise. One who knows himself is enlightened. To overcome others is strong. To overcome oneself is the will of power. One who is contented is rich. One who is determined has the strength of will. Those who embrace their true nature shall long live. He who is enlightened with the original nature, Although dies physically, is eternally united with the everlasting Tao.
