Life is Hard, by Steve Campbell

LIFE IS HARD

It’s a fact soon discovered by all who experience life.  

However just accepting the reality of life’s challenges does not ensure happiness, success, or contentment.  

Those qualities seem to come more readily to those who learn to embrace the challenges of life by learning to choose wisely “their hards”.

Allow me to illustrate what I mean: Marriage is hard.  
Divorce is hard.  –Choose your hard.  

Being overweight and out-of-shape is hard.
Staying fit and trim is hard.  –Choose your hard.

Being in debt is hard. Being financially responsible is hard.  –Choose your hard.  

Having broken and unhealthy relationships is hard.  
Maintaining healthy relationships with friends and family is hard.  –Choose your hard.

Life will never be easy. It will always be hard.  –Choose your hard.  

Choose wisely. 

Wise choices are almost always accompanied by long hours of hard work.
Though they appear easier initially, unwise choices always result in even harder consequences.  

Often the choices that at first glance appear to be the most difficult turn out to be the best.  
Conversely, choosing the easy way frequently proves to be the most difficult in the long run.  

The Bible tells us that the popular way, the easy way always turns out to be the path to destruction.     

Any way you look at it, life is hard.  –Choose your hards.
But choose them wisely.
