Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.

What’s difficult

The fact that a particular undertaking is difficult is not a reason to avoid it. Not a valid reason to dismiss it as unattainable or undesirable.

Yes, be realistic. But don’t let your realism descend into fatalism.

Difficult is not at all the same as impossible. Not only is a difficult task possible, it has some advantages over things that are easier.

A difficult challenge forces you to up your game, to call forth your best thoughts and efforts. The endeavor leaves you stronger, more capable and confident.

If it’s hard to do, then few have done it, maybe even no one. Therein lies great opportunity to bring unique value to life.

Choose to see difficulty as a feature of possibility, not as an indictment, not as an excuse to give up. Within what’s difficult, there is much fulfillment for you to create.
