Today I steal a nice one from the guys over at brotip.com, you should give them a visit!
I mean life getting harder can always mean you just fucked up, but often the reason is that you succeeded at something. Because success normaly brings you to a new stage, a higher stage, where new challenges await you. New challenges are hard and therefore life gets tough.
But like Bruce Lee said, there are no limits, just plateaus and it lies in your willpower to go from plateau to plateau, higher and higher.
You can live on the ground with the principle of little input and little output meaning you keep your ambitions low and have an ‘easy’ and small life or you can go live a life where you make use of all the potential, of all the possibilities.
It’s your choice!
