Every once in a while, or maybe even more frequently, we find ourselves faced with the feeling, wow that was hard. Sometimes we walk away from that feeling with relief, sometimes with happiness, sometimes with I wasn’t expecting that. And with a bit of time and reflection we can come to terms with hard (difficult, vexing, unexpected) and we realize that it is all just part of the journey. While we, will from time to time, say we want it easy, that we do not want to struggle, in fact we are drawn to that which is difficult. Hard, difficult, whatever we want to call it stimulates us like nothing else. It pushes us, we learn, we grow, and we are rewarded by the sheer feeling that comes from working through the hard stuff. So, let’s accept that “hard” is what we do and leave it at that….
