Everything is difficult. Choose your path.

Everything in life is difficult in its own way.

If you’re broke and hate your job, that’s difficult. But it’s also difficult to be successful professionally. It will take a lot of hard work, long hours, and sacrifices to get what you want. And along the way, you have to choose how hard you want to work at the other areas of your life.

If you put all of your energy into your work, but no energy into eating right or working out, your health will suffer.

If you don’t pay attention to your dating life, family time, or hanging out with friends, your relationships will suffer.

Sure, it’s easier to be mediocre at everything or to “not care” and be bad at certain things, but those choices bring different kinds of hardship with them.

You get to choose your actions. And by doing that, you get to choose which difficulties you’re going to experience. Choose wisely.
