Non-stop challenges
The challenges of this world never stop... thinking that they do is a fallacy of the childlike underdeveloped ego. Nice fact depending on who you are and what you hope to accomplish they just get more difficult... The greater your dreams the more vicious your enemies (parts of yourself, your demons, your opponents) attacks will be.
The moment you realize that you must become stronger every day is the moment you realize that you can succeed. If you continually get stronger all of the challenges you face will end up looking like mere pebbles in your eye instead of giant boulders. Not many people as adolescents want to get up early, but successful people do it when they get older. Why? Because more time is more time to conquer your challenges. Statistically speaking if you have more hours in the day odds are you will be more productive and secure a better future for yourself...
If you deluded yourself into thinking that life gets easier you probably are believing in some media hyped Utopia. The only utopias in this world are the ones we construct for ourselves within our souls... from bettering ourselves, building up our good deeds, doing what we know has to be done, and never stopping on our quest, no matter what price we must pay in terms of spiritually strengthening ourselves.
Depending on who you are living may or may not make sense. But the confusion continues until you realize that the easy road is not only boring, but it is also not as rewarding as the arduous one. The greater the person you aspire to be the greater the enemies you will face are. That’s the bottom line.
Survival is for many people, based on competition; but the spiritually based person only ever competes with themselves... wondering what others are or are not doing is a delusion of the ego. You are not anyone else, so why would you care about comparing yourself to them. That’s a lesson in self-imposed suffering if I’ve ever heard of one.
