Life is hard, and there is no avoiding it. If you avoid hardship, you become weak, and you suffer more. The only option is to choose your hardship. This is the only path that makes you stronger and improves your condition.
The difference between those who succeed and fail is in hardships they choose. Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do, but life is hard all the same.
We can choose our hardships, or we can let life choose them for us.
When we choose, we take control of our life, we actualize our dreams, and direct our destiny.
When life chooses for us, we become a victim of circumstance, and suffer needlessly.
All we need is faith that the vision and discipline required to persistently suffer toward some to-be realized end will guarantee our growth and increase our capacity to be free from circumstance beyond our choice.
We must always pay the price.
Discipline or regret.
Now or later.
There is no avoiding hardship, but we can always choose the terms.
