The great things are never easy…

Everybody wishes for life to be easier. Everyone is searching for the “good life”. People think, “if I had more money, things would be easier because…” Or, “if I didn’t have this weight problem, my life would be better because…” Or, “if we were just married, things would be easier…” Life always looks better through a different lense. If only we could change our circumstances, then things would be a lot different, and a lot better for ourselves. But, we know deep down life doesn’t work this way.
As the Notorious B.I.G. put it – “More money, more problems.”
The solution to your problems are in the now. The solution to your circumstance resides within you – not within someone else. If you want to change your circumstances, you have to change them. It has to be you to make the choice. If you want more wealth, then work for it. Plan for it, work the plan, and achieve your dreams. If you want to lose weight, work at it. Get off the couch, devise a plan and do it. If you want perfection in your relationships, don’t rely on your partner to craft a solution on their own. You must take part. It is your choice to have a better life now.
Life is what you make of it. It’s easy to look at things on TV or in magazines and wish what life would be like if you were “like them” or “had that”. But, life is not in the wishing. Life is in the doing.
Everyone is searching for the quick fix. We need to reside ourselves that there is no quick fix. That joys in life are in the journey. Not in the destination. Life is not having the shiny car, big house, and big smile. Life is about how you got that big car, big house, and who you share it with, who fills up that house, and who you give the glory to for all that you have.
This video is a great one. Given by John Kennedy, speaking of America’s decision to go to the moon.
“Why do you want to climb it? Because it is there!…
We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other thing. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.”
You’ve heard the phrase, “that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.” The good things in life generally take work. If a great life is what we all want, we should welcome the challenge. We should say “to hell with the circumstances. To hell with the difficult challenges. I choose to have a richer life. I know that it might take work.” To obtain joy in life, choose to be brave. Work hard. Work honest. And, relish in the victory.
