The road to a rich and fulfilling life is not for the weak of heart, but neither is any journey through life.
You get tired. As if you’ve been sprinting uphill. Exhausted even. As if you’ve been running a marathon. It’s human to seek relief after a long or intense effort, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
After making it through a hard stretch, you dream of smoother paths. After fighting through adversity and winning, you just want a break. You want to find some quiet corner of life where those challenges don’t happen.
It’s tempting to ease off, lower your guard, and search for an easier path through life that doesn’t require so much discipline, so much resilience, so much courage. Maybe you can find a soft spot to land where the trials of life won’t find you.
But they will.
You can change your aims, your circumstances, and your priorities. You can lower your standards and your dreams. But you can’t change the nature of life itself.
Wherever you are, there the trials of life will be. Wherever you go, there they will be also.
So why not fight for what matters to you? Why not fight for the life you want to live, the way you want to live it?
Why not make the journey you were born to make on a path only you can take? Because you’ll face life’s trials either way.
Recover if you’re tired. Rest if you need it. But you must not quit.
The path ahead is thick with challenges. It’s also rich with rewards.
Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
