When Easy Make Your Life Hard

Sometimes, I wonder how easy it would be to just give up; to not keep striving to sharpen my programming skill or actually learn JavaScript and PHP like I’ve been trying to do, or even gain a better understanding into what goes into successfully creating and marketing a website, or even skipping out on my morning workouts that help me achieve a 1% gain in fitness and soccer and help me get closer to my dreams. Binge watching my favorite shows, binge eating without restraint, and mellowing in the woes of our world would be so eff-ing easy.

The sad and unfortunate thing about easy is that easy gets you nowhere. Easy gets you that short-term instant gratification followed by a deep guilt due to the recognition that you are not living up to your potential. That you are not living up to your standards. And the worst part about easy is that if you let it consume you, if you let it win the day, overpowering your God-given willpower and stopping you from achieving your goals, easy helps Life get hard.

So don’t let your pajamas and comfy bed get the best of you..you deserve the best ;)
