Life Is Hard…

One of life’s most valuable lessons, one that takes too long to learn, is that life is hard. If we had our way, there would be no pain, things would go our way, we wouldn’t have to work as hard and we certainly wouldn’t have to suffer. We get reality instead, a reality that tells us all too often that things are not fair and “the world will not devote itself to making us happy” -Hal Urban

If we do not accept life as it is and face these challenges, as written in a previous blog, it is impossible to be happy, and keep wishing for something that we will never get. If we accept and understand that life is hard, we can live more effectively and find solutions. Remember, successful people accept their problems and work through them, it is this process of meeting our problems head on and looking for solutions that gives life its meaning. Once we accept the fact that life is hard, we begin to grow, we can begin to see that every obstacle is an opportunity to write our future, regardless of what the past has said.
