Nothing Comes Easy

When faced with a “difficulty,” it’s easy to think of “changing environments” or “changing people,” often using others’ “free, fulfilling, fresh, perfect” lives as a reference.

But if you think calmly, there’s no perfect “good life” in this world; everyone has their goodness and everyone has their difficulties. Whether it’s work, family, or friendships.

I need to think about what my current goals are, and what I need to gain and learn from “suffering and challenges.” Passion, achievement, skills, income—these are external; the most precious things left by the passage of time are my character, virtues, and will.

Nothing comes easy.

I have seen the burden God has laid on men to occupy them.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:10-11
