Whether you’re sitting on the couch enjoying time with family or exercising freedoms we take for granted, all good things come from suffering. Just as the pain of childbirth brings new life, and the soldier’s scars (inside and out) bring the fruit of freedom, the same is true for every good thing in life. We must first endure the work, the struggle, the suffering, to reap the rewards. Yet, we live in a time where many feel entitled: entitled to success, money, status, or a happy life. They look around, expecting to benefit from others’ suffering, or dismiss their lack of achievement as “bad luck.” Don’t fall into the trap of entitlement. There’s no such thing as guaranteed equity, but everyone has the equal opportunity to ‘suffer’ through hard work, day in and day out, to earn the fruits of a good life. I go a bit deeper into this subject below in my Forefront Freedom Podcast.
