Everyone has to try their best in life to get what they want in return. I think that ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help discover who we are. Without adversity in life, we will not feel what is significant to us, and what we really want in life. Going through numerous hardships is what turned me into the person I am now.
Realizing that even if I had all the things I wanted in the world, my parents could give me; I would turn out to be really dependent and reliant on my parents. I would not know the feeling of earning the things I want with my own hands. Before, I would always ask my parents for money whenever I needed money to hang out. But when I had a summer job, and I earned my first paycheck, I felt really great. I felt really proud of myself because I used my own abilities to earn everything I wanted. That was the first and actual time I did not have to rely on my parents. If I did not experience the first time of actually earning something on my own, I would have probably still end up relying on my parents until now.
Sometimes one has to travel a journey that forces one to take paths that stray off the main roadway. I believe it is these stray paths that are often unexpected and difficult. That make us stronger and give us the will to forge ahead in order to get ourselves back onto the main roadway in the journey of life.
While life can be difficult with some events that are unimaginable and maybe even beyond belief, looking back, as a person who one highly look up. Even though something may not be fun at the time and very challenging, the wonder of discovery and success in the end makes it worth it. It is from challenges that strength emerges.
Ease is comfortable and we are accustomed to be. Unfortunately, this stagnate change and character development. Though adversity may place heavy strains on us, it is clearly a fundamental obstacle that we must overcome on the path to true self-discovery.
