Want an Easy life? Do what’s hard!

We don’t like the hard things in life. The easy path is the most desired. But, it is the hard path that actually makes like better.

Exercise: The easy choice is to not do it, but stay on the couch instead. Not exercising leads to an unhealthy life.
Food: The easy choice is to eat junk food, not clean food. Junk food makes life more miserable.
School: The easy choice is to not finish, or to take the bare minimal. In general, the less education you have, the less opportunities you have.
Job: The easy choice is to do the bare minimum. The bare minimum gets you nowhere in life.

Relationships: The hard choice is to stick with your spouse, even when he or she disappoints you. Yet, there is nothing as fulfilling as a healthy marriage.
Parenting: The hard choice is to discipline your child and tell him no. Yet, this makes it even easier to parent.
Money: The hard choice is to not buy that item you really want. Yet, the less you spend, the more you have.
Knowledge: The hard choice is to actual study something yourself, rather than listen to the “experts” on television. Knowledge is power.
