One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Have you ever dreamt of mowing the lawn?
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Beverly Sills
This might be very rational and materialistic, but there is a lot of truth in it.
No goal, no dream will be easy to achieve. I like the saying: ‘If it were easy, it were easy.‘
Nobody dreams of the easy stuff, because of the fact that it is easy. Have you ever dreamt of mowing the lawn? No? I thought so.
A goal is actually worth more the harder it becomes to achieve it. Therefore, when times get tough I like to think of it as an improvement. It means that I could be working on a lot of important tasks and meaningful goals.
But be careful: Not everything that is hard guarantees a desirable outcome, therefore you should avoid the mistake of working hard towards the wrong goals. Just keep in mind: There is no substitue for hard work when it comes to achieving your dreams.

It’s steep up the hill
Every worthy act is difficult. Ascent is always difficult. Descent is easy and often slippery.

You don’t give up
You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing. You back up, but you don’t give up.
