“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Ease isn’t your friend. It’s your enemy.
It stands as a false ideal, something to aspire to have in the present, without having earned it.
And do we ever really earn ease?
Ease, laziness, they’re regression. They’re waste.
They rip from us our potential, and the life we can potentially create, and yet we constantly heed their siren-like call and settle into their grasp, ignorant of the fact that they oppose the act of living, they poison potential, they crush creation.
Ease isn’t an ally, it’s a devious, son-of-a-bitch of an enemy that clouds the true path.
It’s a path where we find what we’re made of, where we create something better than what we have, where we discover meaning, purpose, and pride.
It’s in struggle, strife, and pain, it’s in effort, hard work, and battle, that we create power.
Nothing good has ever come from a quest for ease.
