Go to the trouble

Go to the trouble. Life is worth it.

Make the sacrifice, spend the time, put forth the effort. Achieve the gains that are available for you to achieve.

Endure the pain, the inconvenience, the frustration, the perplexities. Enable your world to benefit from the rewards that flow out of discipline, focus, and boldness.

You already have it far easier than your ancestors. Your task is not to make your life easier, but to make it meaningful.

The meaning you seek comes from honest engagement with people, places, forces, and circumstances. Get on with it at every opportunity.

You’re well equipped and well positioned to do it, to live it, to make this day more beautiful, meaningful and valuable than you found it. Go ahead, and go to the trouble.

— Ralph Marston
