Thought for Thursday - EASY is a four letter word


"EASY" is a four letter word.

Many of us want our life to be easier. Our burdens to be less. We're obsessed with instant success. It's only after living a while that we realize that the 'easy' life is really just an illusion. Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

Don't take my word for it though. Here are a few quotes to prove the point.

1- “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”
Theodore Roosevelt
2. -“Don't pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”
JFK
3. - "God doesn't believe in the easy way"
--- James Agee

WORK however, is a four-letter word worth striving toward.
