Difficulty is not a permanent state and that relief is inherently intertwined with struggle. Challenges (hardship, difficulty, or trials) are inevitably followed by or accompanied by ease (relief, comfort, or resolution). It counters the feeling of despair that can accompany adversity by offering a guarantee that the current struggle will not last forever.
Even within the midst of a trial, there are elements of relief, patience, and strength provided, or that the experience itself is a means to achieve a greater ease. Challenges are a necessary and purposeful part of life. They are not merely obstacles, but catalysts for growth, character development, and a deeper understanding of one’s own resilience. The ease that follows is often the result of the lessons learned and the strength gained during the period of hardship.
- Enduring hardship is a prerequisite for achieving ease. It shifts the focus from the pain of the present to the potential for a brighter future.
- Maintain hope and avoid falling into despair when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
- Struggle and success are interconnected. The ease experienced is often sweeter and more meaningful because it has been earned through perseverance.
In summary, adversity is temporary and that comfort and resolution are an inherent part of the journey through life’s trials.
