What Lasts, Won't Come Easy

It’s always going to be a challenging journey for something that is worthwhile. It will never be easy. Those that come easy are some things we lose just as easily.

You may even ask, why is that? My only answer is because of how much we value something. If we invest hard work and time into a business, we would strive even harder to maintain its success. But if we get something easily, chances are we wouldn’t care much on its improvement. Striving and facing the challenges are parts of the reward. They are there not just to test us, but also to prepare us for what’s to come.

Success is better enjoyed when you know you really, really worked hard for it. At the same time, you value it more. Successful entrepreneurs never had it easy. They always had their up’s and down’s. Sometimes, more challenges than they thought they could take. But when you keep going and not give up, you realize you’ve won. It’s because you are the last one standing.

So when you start thinking of giving up, just remember the quote above, “What comes easy, won’t always last. And what will last, won’t always come easy.” Remind yourself that all the challenges and obstacles will be worth it once you’ve reached your goal. So go for it!
