I am looking to find a Latin motto to encompass a concept that I've
found really helpful in life.
The source concept is pretty straightforward, and there may be a well
known Latin phrase already in print. Or you may need to write a new
one.

Correct conjugation and succinct phrasing is _very_ important, as
there is a good chance I?ll get a tattoo of this phrase on my
shoulder.

This is the concept: The idea that through investment of time and
energy and ambition you will be able to enjoy things otherwise outside
your reach, enjoy the fruits of your labour. The simplest English
phrasing I've come up with is "Efforts come to Fruition". I
particularly like the word Fruition as part of that, as its group of
meanings tends to encompass the entire idea: (esp definitions 1 and 2)

fru?i?tion    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (fr-shn) 
n. 
Realization of something desired or worked for; accomplishment: labor
finally coming to fruition.
Enjoyment derived from use or possession. 
The condition of bearing fruit. 



---------------------


I found the following Latin glossary translations on this page
http://www.florilegium.org/files/HERALDRY/mottoes1-msg.text


> enitor, eniti, enisus sum  (1st conjugation deponent verb) "to work one's
way up, climb, give birth to, exert oneself, make an effort" (+infinitive)

> vita, vitae (1st declension feminine noun) "life, way of life"

> fructus, fructus (4th declension masculine noun) "fruit, produce,
proceeds, profit, payoff, income, reward"


I hope these give you a starting point as to what I am looking for.
Please feel free to find more appropriate or elegant words to use. I'm
looking for something around 3 words, maybe even 2 if there is some
well known Latin saying encompassing this concept.

------------

I'd like the answer to include the following:

1)The final phrase, or perhaps a few phrases to choose from if there
are different flavours to each.
2) Their English translation as a phrase and concept.

3) A word by word breakdown of the phrase


_or_

If the phrase is a well known latin motto or concept
1) The final phrase
2)Some links to usage of this phrase and their context, and any
history or past affiliations of this phrase with groups or movements

I hope this project is fun for someone well versed in Latin. 

Best Regards
-Noah

Hello Noah,

There are, in fact, Latin phrases that says pretty much want you want to express:
"per ardua ad astra",  =  through effort/endeavor to the stars

or another:  "ad astra per aspera",  =  to the stars through difficulty

The above site gives more information.

Do these strike a chord?

ab labore perfructionem -- "out of labor (toil), fruition
(fulfillment/satisfaction)"


labor perfructionem emergit -- "labor brings forth (gives birth to) fruition"


There are variations that could be made in either.
