These are 10 life lessons I wish I had learnt earlier
What are you willing to suffer for? A lot of people when speaking in terms of success will ask questions that will only regard the finishing product: “what do you want out of life”, “where do you see yourself in 5 years”.
While these questions can be handy and having goals set is always a great idea; the problem is that the questions themselves lead to generalised answers that don’t possess any real meaning to you as an individual. The fact is that we all want nice things, we all want to be happy, feel good, be fit, healthy, travel and everything else in between.It’s easy to want.But not everyone will typically get there... and that’s because it requires a long mountainous struggle to achieve.
There’s no doubt that everyone loves a good sunset, but sometimes to see that sunset you have to do certain things that you may not be willing to suffer through. Because happiness requires struggle. Real lifelong fulfilment and meaning have to be earned through the choosing and managing of daily struggles.
You need to be willing to struggle for that outcome.Spend less time focusing on the outcome you’re after and get stuck into the process. If you really love the day ins and day outs of the journey than you’ll more than likely end up at your destination.
However, if you don’t like the road you’re on... it’s best to choose a different one because life is the longest thing you’ll do, so do it right.
