It’s crazy to think about it this way.
Time and time again though, it always seems to prove itself true.
Its easy to think that what we want is to have it easy.
The truth is, we enjoy the challenge of a struggle.
It provides us with the satisfaction of overcoming an obstacle.
If you have made a life where you have little struggle, then congrats.
You get to create your own struggle instead of taking on what’s thrown at you.
Think of it as muscle building. The more you workout, the more strength you have.
The more struggle you endure, the easier it will be for you to overcome it.
The overall message is to not get caught up in sitting around taking it easy.
This is a recipe for disaster.

So I'm learning something new which makes me uncomfortable. It tends to also stress me out because there is not enough time in the day to learn everything. I've been reminded on the importance of being patient. A person can only do so much. I've learned that having this new goal has made me excited on overcoming these new obstacles. I've been...
