Accomplishing hard things is a huge blessing in life. It is way better to do hard things than to be sheltered and never step foot into the unknown. Tough life thoughts: Sometimes life isn't hard, we have just gotten weak.
If we makes ourselves sheltered and avoid hard experiences then when little things come, we fall apart. Like going for a five mile run when you are out of shape. Five miles isn't long, most people can do it even at a slow pace - but when you are out of shape it's a lot harder to do then if you were fit. So the same is with life.
When life gets easy, choose challenges! People who are tough have learned how to endure. Here is another analogy: Say you have some friends that cant swim, as soon as they can no longer touch the bottom, it becomes life threatening. For those who can swim, it's a normal fun day at the pool. Though lets say we were dropped three miles offshore, would we probably would need to be picked up. For a professional swimmer, three miles is the warm up!
Train yourself into toughness - do the hard things.
