Ease Is Overrated, Growth Isn’t

At the end of a bad day, coming up on 10 PM.

Sitting around trying to choose the lesser of two evils, and I think: How can we get to a place of ease? A place of security, abundance, and pure happiness?

Is it something wrong with us? Or are we  -as humans- just not built for ease?

We say we want it. But really think about it, having everything you want at the tip of your fingers at all times. You like that thought?

Now picture that being your life. Day after day. Everything is simple. Everything just... happens because you want it. Whatever you wish, it appears. No effort, no chase.

Come on. Can life be more boring?

The stretching, the pulling, the struggle, that’s what makes us grow. The hustle. The difficult people. The constant pursuit of a better life. All of it makes you stronger, tougher. It’s what makes the reward mean something.

For me? My whole life I’ve been completely sure I’ll get what I want, but there’s always a catch. It’s never easy. I have to run, work, fight, suffer. But I’ll get it. Always.

And whenever I look back - at any moment in my life - I feel satisfied, proud.Proud of what this person (me) was able to do.

If it came easy, it would feel dull. Worthless. Just... boring.

Call me crazy, but this is life.The struggle. The fight. The trying.

I love my journey. I’m proud of it. I love everything I went through. And I love everything I will go through,  because I know, with full faith, that I’ll figure it out.

So why not just enjoy the challenge.
