Tae-win called out

Easy path is hard, hard path easy .

I learned later that it was a game he plays with every new student. He gives two options, one easy, one hard. If you pick the easy one, you fail and he gives y ou something even harder. ___ What s the solution? Don t listen to that little voice in your head that seeks safet y and comfort. Instead, make a conscious effort to do things the hard way, by ch allenging yourself and pushing yourself even if that little voice in the back of your head says you don t need to. That doesn t mean you can t enjoy life it just mean s you can t be lazy about enjoying life. ___ The hard way means you need to put yourself out there. You need to challenge you r assumptions, and get over your sticking points . You need to push yourself, and n ot wait for things to come to you. You need to take control of your destiny. Thi s is the hard way, but it s not an unsatisfying way. In fact, it s much more satisfy ing than living the easy life. ___ The hard way is eating healthy, working out, getting out of your comfort zone, l earning new things, taking control of your life and being assertive in your rela tionships. The easy way is eating junk, getting out of shape, staying in your co mfort zone, not learning, and being passive in your life. The hard way leads to growth, wealth and health. The easy way leads to diabetes, a social security sco oter, and an ex wife that hates you. Which one is really easy in the long run? ===
