RockStar:60 #17 “It Don’t Come Easy”
What’s the message when things come easy for you? When good fortune or good luck seems to come out of nowhere? Are these things “supposed to be?” Is it fate? Or are they of lesser value because little effort was put forth?
What about when things don’t come easy? When minimal progress is made despite tons of time and effort invested? Are these things “not supposed to be?” Is this fate? Is their difficulty supposed to be telling you something?
It may not be sexy or scientific, but the answers to these questions are often found in your gut. When something “feels right” and your motives are good, a message is being sent.
Most worthwhile things don’t come easy. They require ongoing effort and sacrifice.
“If you desire ease, forsake learning.” ~ Nagarjuna
People persevere that which they are passionate about. And we don’t abandon what we truly love. The relative degree of difficulty is not the issue, but rather if you’re willing to endure the highs and lows during the journey.
“I couldn’t put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would’ve stayed with the band.” ~ Ringo Starr
