Nothing Is Hard In Life, SERIOUSLY

 

Is LIFE HARD?  To be on the safe side, I'lle exclaim it's NEITHER EASY NOR HARD.  What is EASY for one may be difficult to another one.  WHAT is a no-brainer with one may be a steep mountain slope to climb up.  In fact, many times I stumbled across two colleagues with very similar job roles.  YET, it was easy for one and HARD for the other one.  WHAT more WHEN we do a mapping of all these in our respective lives?  This probably explains WHY we're witnessing a constant cacophony of noise in this quite rowdy world.  So, WHO concurs that NOTHING IS HARD IN LIFE?  Seriously dude💚💛💜

In multifarious ways, I have been observing that some of us would think that something is more worthwhile if it is difficult to achieve [OR even strangely] if it is painful to achieve.  Additionally, if the 'norm' is to do one type of  thing and someone comes up with an easier thing that broadly achieves the same goals, people end up getting caught in the norm and will likely NOT leap to celebrate and change their lives, rather some may mock and criticize the person WHO has found an easier way and enjoin them to come back to the HARD way.  True, some things are HARD and painful BUT also have that tangible benefit, like working hard at a skill OR sport OR perhaps putting money in a high interest savings account BUT that level of difficulty OR pain involved in an endeavor does NOT automatically indicate its worthiness💧💧💧

These days, regardless WHERE you reside now, life can truly be overwhelming these days.  And IF you're feeling LIKE the challenges you're facing seem to be way too much for you to handle, you're certainly NOT alone.  In a recent United States survey, the majority of the respondents placed their stress levels between a 5 and a 10 on a scale of 1-10.  YES, everyone seems to be a bit stressed out for one reason OR another💥💥💥

And, according to researches, our individual stressors would likely NOT be related to current societal issues at all BUT ironically, they could be exacerbated by these societal issues.  YES, life is inevitably HARD at times and I agree, there are one too many UPs and DOWNs BUT if we're feeling like our life is consistently difficult, trust me, day-in day-out, you would feel that constant struggle if that pervades and prevails within you almost constantly.  You might even find yourself pondering WHY everything feels so hard on you?  Truth is, everyone's journey is different.  Just because your peers DON'T seem to be struggling right now, they may be facing challenges privately for all you know😡😡😡

Our takeaway:  My personal take here is that, without really downplaying the hardness of life as being faced by people WHO feel more challenged, I would encourage ourselves look at the positive side of things, weigh in both UPSIDEs and DOWNSIDEs while giving heavier weight to the POSITIVEs.  LIKE many years ago WHEN I got involved in a major car accident, I was thankful that that incident hit me that time because that time, I had 2 things in life WHICH you would badly need WHEN you're involved in a major accident.  It is the combination of TIME + MONIES.  Admittedly, that time, I had both as we just received our redundancy pay settlements WHEN US-headquartered Borden Chemical formally ended its commercial operations in my country then.  In short, NOTHING IS HARD IN LIFE, seriously [except you have to sweat it out dude]😡😡😡
