Receive a positive, motivational message like this every day in your email. Somehow we have gotten the idea that life should be easy. That's a lie. If you are alive, things are not easy. By its very definition, life is not easy.
Life is composed of activity, challenge and struggle.
Give up the illusion that life can ever be easy. You wouldn't want it to be. Instead, let your life be grand, glorious, challenging and full of accomplishment. Stop wasting your time looking for an easy way out, and get on with the exciting business of meeting the challenges of life. That is where you'll find joy and fulfillment.
