Hidden treasure

Do not expect to have it easy. Instead, be thankful for and embracing of the challenges.

Those challenges are what compel you to gain strength in your efforts. They feed fresh life into your soul that can never be stolen.

What comes with no effort cannot have any value. What you give the highest and the most of yourself to, is what sustains you through everything.

The view from the top of the mountain is grand and enriching. But no one is going to carry you up there just because you beg or plead.

What you can do right away is climb a small rise, and then use the strength you develop to scale an even higher hill. Keep it up, and before long you’ll be able to get up whatever mountain you choose, whenever you choose.

Hidden in the harshness of reality is a priceless gift. Take on life’s most difficult challenges, and experience its greatest treasures.
