When we were growing up  our parents would tell us something to do.  Our reply would be, “It is too hard.”  It was suppose to be hard.  They wanted us to grow.  Growth comes through testing, difficulties, and of course strain. 

 

The same is true in life.  Yes, it is hard.  But there is no growth if there is no strain. 

 

However, there are people that use it is too hard as an excuse.  They want growth without the strain, the pain, or the troubles.  They feel entitled.  What you then have is a selfish, self-centered person.  A person that will never grow and never live.

 

Take the strain.  Learn from it.  Grow.  Then, you will truly live life.
