Very tired, but very happy

In the countryside of India, there's a temple which gives out free food to commoners around the area. During the event, a villager came to help out. From the early morning, he started with all the chores around, tending to every tasks he can lay his hands on. Sweeping the grounds, cooking, fetching water. Till dusk, he's still toiling at the tasks, but still wears a smile on his face. Curious, a man steps up to ask him, "Aren't you tired, after working the whole day?"
He answers with a simple reply, "Very tired, but very happy."

Many times, we find ourselves being discouraged whenever we encounter problems, feel tired in what we are doing. However, if we probe deeper, we'll realise it's just a simple " Very tired, but very happy.", and we know it'll be worth everything we put in now.
