A Hard Life
Life is as easy or as hard as you think it is.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard,"
I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
- Sydney Harris
Your success and happiness lies in you.
Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you
shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
- Helen Keller
What if we just acted like everything was easy?
- Mary Anne Radmacher
In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.
- Albert Einstein
Whenever you say or even think, "This is hard," that task or challenge becomes difficult. Dread it, and it becomes terrifying.
When you choose to move past fear - fear of failure, fear of embarrassment, fear of "looking bad," fear of losing respect - life becomes much lighter, and most any task becomes possible - perhaps even enjoyable. Most any challenge can become an adventure of discovery.
Adversity can crush our spirit - or strengthen it - it is our choice.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
