Choose Your Hard
Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
Raising kids is hard. Building loving relationships is hard. Choose your hard.
Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard.
Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can choose our hard. Picky wisely.
Success in life and family is hard. Nothing worthwhile will ever be easy because success is never given. We have to earn it every day. The great thing about this life that can be hard is we get to choose our hard. Ultimately our success is up to one person, and that is the person in the mirror. We control the direction we are pointed on our journey of life.
Much like when you are hiking a trail up the mountain, those meadows of flat ground may seem nice, but you are not climbing to the top unless you are struggling up the hill. Life is not hard to beat us down, but it is a process of progress. When we understand that the struggle is part of the process, we can choose the right hard things for our happiness.
When you are working out, you want that muscle to burn a little bit. That means it is growing. The great thing about hard things is when you complete them; they are no longer hard. We adapt and grow because of the hard things when we choose the hard things we want. The firefighter runs into the fire because it is a hard thing to do. But he knows his purpose is so much more than the hard thing he is about to do. Find your purpose in your family and choose the right hard things to be the best you.
