Easy is what we already know how to do or that which takes little

mental or physical effort. Difficult is something we don't yet know

how to do or that which takes great mental or physical effort.

Easy produces no strain, no stress, no fatigue. Easy is enjoyable. Easy is what

most of us want most things to be. But, then, easy produces no growth, no

improvement. Easy offers no protection against decline or disease.

Easy produces little or no accomplishment. Too much easy sees

us grow soft and even less capable. Easy may be pleasant, but

pleasant is only part of the equation for happiness.

Difficult wears you out. Difficult sometimes stresses you out. Difficult

hurts. Difficult is often not fun. But difficult makes you grow. Difficult

makes you improve so that what was once difficult becomes easy.

Difficult makes you feel good in a way easy doesn't. It's not exactly

pleasure but more like satisfaction. Difficult keeps you sharp, ready,

and capable. Difficult makes it more likely you'll live longer and be

healthier while you’re alive. Difficult is often more interesting than easy.

What really makes things easy or difficult, of course, is us. Our own

inner life state. When we're tired, depressed, or distracted even

easy feels difficult. And when we're buoyant, energized, confident, and eager difficult feels easy.

Many of us spend an inordinate amount of effort trying to avoid difficult. But

what we really should be doing is seeking to strengthen ourselves so that

difficult is doable. We shouldn't run from difficult. We should embrace it!!!

Not to imply easy is bad or that we shouldn't enjoy it—just that an easy life

isn't only impossible; it's undesirable. Neither the human body nor the

human mind were meant to be put in a corner and left unused, and using

both requires effort. And effort feels difficult. But effort rewards.

So which is it to be? Easy and fun? Or difficult and satisfying? Both

are important to a happy life, but what's the right ratio for you?Thank You Very Much
