Nothing in life that’s worth anything is easy – Barack Obama
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well. – Theodore Roosevelt
No matter what you undertake in life make sure you finish the race. We had the greatest example in Jesus who even though it was painful and difficult he put in the effort and endured the crucifixion on the cross for the benefit of all of us. Do not take the easy road because nothing that is easy lasts. You must put in the work and stand firm and endure till the end and finish the race. Keep the faith and trust God that everything will work out for your good. It may not come together in the way you want it to be, but it will be best for you because God only wants the best for all of us.
