The greater pain we experience on the way toward a goal, the greater we enjoy the success of reaching it. Human beings can actually derive pleasure from overcoming pain. People will swim in ice-water or walk over hot coals just to conquer the pain of doing so. Overcoming pain gives us a sense of our own free will, and how much we can shape our lives. Learning wisdom is a good example of the value of struggling.
Wisdom is the most valuable tool for living a meaningful life.
Learning wisdom means taking the time to research an idea, working to understand it, integrating it, and practicing it over and over again. That means taking the pain now to learn some eternal ideas. Because when you finally do figure it out, you'll value it all the more. You know you have what it takes. Now go and get it.
