The title of this blog instantly stuck me as I read it somewhere on the web. I don’t know how much it impacts you. But reading it is definitely going to make some difference.
I don’t know how many can relate with the title of this blog. But certainly I can relate to it. Life till date has not been easy for me. I have struggled, prayed, worked hard and remained clear about what I wanted for me. However, time and again, like any ambitious girl, I would always ask myself why I have to struggle so much to achieve everything I want. An inner voice would always reply back that do you want to have it easy or forever?
Choose for yourself wisely today because whatever you choose is going to influence your life later.
Like me, many of you have always thought the same. There is a huge difference between getting it easy or keeping it forever. This ‘it’ I am describing here can be any personal goal which one wants for his life. After this pandemic has hit us, things have started to become difficult for us. We lost our jobs, we lost our confidence, we have pressures, we have negativity and we have so much to cope with in life. All these burdens have escalated our struggles and we have been left with no options but being patient and waiting for the times when things get settled.
Motivation in life is very crucial. Life definitely does not come easy for a large part of us. We have to be capable of organising ourselves in a way that no amount of pressure can shake or fall us. Then comes a concept of sustainability. If you have dreams and aspirations for life, these need to be sustainable and forever.
Something that is easily available to us is not valued long-term and hence, not sustainable. But when we know we have struggled so hard to get it, we value it above everything. So sustainability is there. As time passes, we have to be clear about our life principles and philosophies since this should be our guiding light. No one is going to come and ask us to be motivated. We have to be capable enough to pick ourselves up and motivate ourselves from time to time. But I feel that there are certainly some things that can be done to make our struggles focussed and sustainable. Let me list a few of them here.
Talk to like-minded people
Read good and motivating stuff
Organise yourself and make SMART goals
Be private as they say, ‘people cannot ruin what they don’t know’
Have faith and patience
Keep yourself busy
The process of taking sustainable decisions for life should be a continuous one. Just because we have to struggle for everything we want in life does not mean we are not worth it. It just means that once we achieve it, we are going to keep it forever.
