Accepting this truth will change your life!

You need to accept this truth before it is too late…

Failure to do so will lead to a life of misery and regret.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

So what is this truth?

Life is hard.

There is no easy path.

There is no shortcut.

You will not suddenly wake up one day with unlimited motivation to accomplish your goals.

You need to stop looking for an easy escape.

Lesson 4: Looking for an easy escape only makes life harder

This is the maths equation that they should have taught us at school:

Short-term discomfort = Long term gain

Short comfort = Long term pain

Every decision you make leads to a reward or a regret.

The biggest mistake that you’re making is that you think you can avoid pain.

But pain is inevitable in life.

Just think about it.

Going to the gym requires 1 hour of pain a day to make progress (not even every day)

So in response, most people take the “easy path” and avoid it.

But what they fail to consider is that they’re instead settling for being out of shape which results in 24 hours of pain a day…

Building a business may require 5 years of pain and potentially no reward to go with it.

So most people avoid it because it is “too risky” right?

But guess what?

They instead end up working a job they hate, for a boss they hate, which results in 50 years of pain…

If you think discipline is expensive, wait until regret hands you the bill!

Pain is inevitable in life.

You can’t avoid it.

So you might as well choose the pain that leads to countless rewards rather than countless regrets.

The pain that will feed your self-worth instead of feeding your insecurities.

The pain that will lead to success rather than failure.

I don’t know about you but I know which pain sounds better to me.

You can either put yourself through the pain or let life put you through it.

Either way, your life will be painful.

That is how God designed it to be.

Find me a verse in the bible where it says “Life is meant to be easy”.

You won’t find one.

Pain leads to growth.

Growth leads to achievement.

Achievement leads to fulfilment.

An “easy” life is not a happy life (I am speaking from experience).

Looking for an easy escape only makes life harder.

Build a lifestyle that leads to rewards rather than regrets.

Because remember:

Success isn’t a destination; it’s a lifestyle.

More people need to hear this message (especially young men)

Society is feeding us lies about how we should live our lives.

So please share this so we can spread the message and have an amazing rest of your week!
