why is it that when we look back on our lives it's never the easy days or the simplicity
it's not the calm that changes our reality or makes us who we are don't get me wrong common simplicity they're wonderful but they're not trans formative and why would they be why would we change or seek to obtain more without a
reason or incentive it's
times of struggle of turbulence it's when life was hard that we had to rethink
who we are reshape the way we look at the world
right because without chaos you don't get calm
without the storm you don't get those crazy neon colors and golden rays it leaves as it passes by
in order to triumph in any capacity or any area of life there is always a sacrifice that must be made the adversity is the fire that forges the iron
there's a saying hard times create strong men
strong men create good times good times create
weak men and weak men create hard times it's a
a cycle and this is generally used in a socio-political sense and i i think in a lot of ways it applies today but where i've really found it useful where i found value in it is at the personal level because what i've noticed is that growth also appears to have a cyclical nature and when we're in a rough situation or overcoming an obstacle we have to push we fight we grow sometimes without even realizing it we achieve
a result and by default this transformation
that in one way or another makes us something new
but then it becomes easy to level out right and that's the challenge it creates this period of stagnation it's like we made the jump
and it becomes real easy to stay there and that's why i have found value in when life is not providing resistance to manufacture some because that's the only way to grow progress is happiness and search for meaning
