Conclusion Of Embracing the Struggle: Keep Going When Things Get Hard
Understand the Nature of Challenges
The challenge is part of life, an inevitability. It tests the limits of one's comfort zone and pushes further. Appreciating difficulty as a natural part of human experience can help reframe perspective: instead of looking at challenges as insurmountable obstacles, one might perceive them as opportunities for personal growth.
The Pain of Perseverance vs. The Pain of Regret
When push comes to shove, you have two ways to go: you can suffer the pain of discipline or live with the regret of giving up. Both bring about discomfort but are categorically different like discomfort that each brings. The Pain of Perseverance: This is the struggle one faces in continuing to move on. That means nights of no sleep, unending effort, and frustration at the slow headway made. However, this pain is temporal and mainly results in growing, achieving, and self-discovery. The Pain of Regret: This is the lingering sadness and disappointment you feel when you finally give up. It is all the "what ifs" that keep you awake at night, all the chances lost, and all the wasted opportunities. Unlike the pain of perseverance, this pain can last a lifetime.
