A Tried And Tested Way To Make Everything Around You Easier
Great thinkers’ advice on dealing with the many difficulties of life
Dealing with the difficulties of life is now a business. Think about it. There weren’t “life coaches” thousands of years ago. Life hacks and apps are abundant everywhere, plus businesses will provide gadgets to make life easier for a fee.
Obviously, this can be a good thing. But it does create a bias.
Namely, the modern world teaches you difficulty is an inconvenience, or something to be avoided. Maybe even conquered. After all, we’re to work smarter, not harder and everyone dreams of an easier life.
This hasn’t been lost on the free market. Science, technology, and every innovative mind in the world is in a constant battle to conquer anything difficult within our lives.
But that’s not what yesterday’s thinkers preached. They had a much different view of daily difficulties and the various trials of life. Moreover, it wasn’t negative.
Philosophers and great figures of the past even encouraged us to seek it out.
Oddly enough, within difficulty they found benefit. But more than this. Within hard things there’s a key to making your life easier. Although it isn’t apparent at first.
