Day 232 of wisdom
“It is not because life is difficult that we do not dare. Life is difficult because we do not dare.”
Seneca
We do not experience ease, not because there is no ease, but because we do not dare to do the difficult things. If we would live an easy life, we must first do the difficult things, but if we spare the difficult things until later, we would find it more difficult when it will eventually come upon us. The easy things of life are not worth having, but when we have worked hard enough for what is really worth it, we would eventually experience an ease life of fulfilment.
Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." if one does not dare big things, he would not get big results. It is better to face the battle with the hopes, and high expectations of great rewards, than to be in comfort with no expectation of anything at all.
No good thing comes through comfort, and ease, but ease, and comfort comes from daring, and doing difficult things. "a Yoruba adage says,"ikoko to ma je ata, idi re a gbona", which when interpreted implies, "anyone who will enjoy life, must first pass through, and endure its rigors." A butterfly have gone through life as a caterpillar before becoming the beautiful butterfly with wings.
Go for what you want no matter how hard it is to get it, nothing is given to anyone on a plater of gold, if you want something bad enough, you have to go out and fight for it, you have to work for it, you must not settle for less than you bargained for. In life you don't get what you deserve, you get what you bargain, and work for, and you should never quit until you win, because until you win it is not over.
