The Joy of Struggling struggle is effort laced with emotion and desperation. Stuart Wilde I think that we will all agree that to succeed at anything we are going to have to put forth a little effort. Effort should never be married to its foul nemesis struggle the result is disaster. These two make poor bedfellows, and we should do our best to ensure that they never mingle in any of our endeavors.
Effort is necessary.
Struggle simply perpetuates more struggles. Effort takes you somewhere struggle takes up your time and energy. Effort paves your path struggle clutters your road. Effort is efficient struggle, as Stuart Wilde puts it, is an unholy battle that you fight with yourself. Maybe you can hear your own little inner voice asking the very same question.
