The Hard Life

In Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl wrote that "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Our age is obsessed with the easy way. They're afraid of hardship and failure. They insure themselves against it...ignore it...run from it. But not you. You aren’t afraid to undergo hardship and risk of failure to earn a better way of living. You’re strong and ready to become stronger… you take on hard things with dignity and pride because in the end, the most rewarding life isn’t the easy life…it’s the hard life.
