Rich substance
\n+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n

Don’t wish for things to be easy. Work to make things good
\nand meaningful.<\/p>\n

A life of nothing but ease and comfort is a life not fully
\nlived. Sure, it’s good to be comfortable, yet it is
\nessential to also have real substance in your life.<\/p>\n

If your goal is to reach the point where you have no
\nresponsibilities, you will find that place to be highly
\nunsatisfying. Making a difference is what you do best, and
\nmaking a difference makes life good.<\/p>\n

A life with no challenge is a life with no fulfillment.
\nDoing only what is easy can quickly rob you of your sense of
\npurpose.<\/p>\n

You cannot fully experience or appreciate life’s sweetness
\nif you completely avoid its sometimes-bitter realities. Some
\nof the world’s most beautiful places are also some of the
\nmost difficult places to reach.<\/p>\n

Do what it takes to get yourself to those beautiful places.
\nBe willing to embrace the difficult realities, and
\nexperience the rich substance of a life fully lived.<\/p>\n
