Choose Easy Or Hard
Do you choose easy or do you choose hard? There is no right or wrong answer. I have friends who are quite proud that they choose easy. By their choice, they have a much smoother way of life. Also by this choice they choose the consequences, which will likely be to stay where they already are in their potential. If that is what they want, may they have the peace they seek.
If, on the other hand, you choose hard, you are looking at the possibility of being frustrated, down, stressed, and wondering what in the heck you’re doing—until the blessed gift of slipping into the zone arrives. Choosing hard isn’t for everyone. It requires a lot of determination, persistence, and grit. It also requires you to be a gambler because there is no guarantee that it will all turn out in the end.
The rewards can be huge. I submit—excluding divine intervention—that nothing great has ever been accomplished without choosing hard. There is a difference between choosing hard and deciding the task is hard. I am all about simplifying and not complicating things in order to reach objectives. In the long run choosing hard is, in fact, choosing easy. If I choose to make the hard decision of staying healthy, down the line, when others who didn’t make those choices are getting ill, I will be reaping the benefits of that hard beginning choice. The same goes in all areas of life, for everyone.
