Nobody Said It Was Gonna Be Easy Quote
Why Quote This?
I think the young folks forget that life is tough. Parents today are too easy on their kids, and the kids don’t learn a thing by this. In a world and a life so tough, parents aren’t always able to bail their kids out nor should they.
If they do, the kids stay dependent, and never become self-sufficient or productive citizens.
I Should Know
I’m a first generation immigrant living in the U.S. without any relatives here. I have an understanding of how an orphan must feel, to an extent. There is a terrible feeling of loneliness that can engulf you.
I know what it’s like to be alone, in a tough world, often in situations where the only choice is to do or die. Like in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, a movie I can truly relate to.
I have similar tales, and I not just watched the movie, but I felt it, because it struck home! There is a difference between watching something for entertainment, versus feeling something you can definitely relate to.
Thank God I learned how to make it the old fashioned way, by earning it, and by depending on God. He deserves all the credit. So I can’t really say I was all alone. And I must say, IT WAS STILL TOUGH!
Easy or Difficult?
If I had a choice between the two, I would more often choose easy. Honestly who wouldn’t? But the reason why I would be careful about this is because I know I wouldn’t be able to deal with when the going got tough, if I always had it easy.
Having it rough better helps prepare for difficult times, survive them, and then hopefully prosper afterward.
We must see difficulties through. We all want to quit. But quit once and you’ll quit over and over, and never win. That’s why they say:
- Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit
- When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Go Fishing…oops I meant, The Tough Get Going
- Never Say Die
So the next time you develop some self-pity, remember that “Nobody Said It Was Gonna Be Easy” and that you should still see the positives gained and be content with that. Stop expecting the easy road.
You have to earn it, persevere, and then happiness will give you an occasional glimpse. The goal is of course to always be happy, not just pursue it!
