How To Build A Life You Really Love
Spoiler alert: it won’t be easy but it will be worth it.
Somewhere along the line, I think a lot of us have forgotten that the good life and an easy life are not the same thing.
Lately, I’ve been working on building a life I truly love and do you know what? It’s pretty exhausting.
As much as we all want great results, human beings don’t like resistance. So, there’s that part of us that expects the good stuff to come easy. When we brush up against how hard it actually is, we’re inclined to give up.
