…are the things most worth doing.
I think of this often. In many ways, it is my personal mantra. ”Nothing worth doing is ever easy.” I say that a lot. It’s a reminder to myself, and to others, that “No one ever appreciated anything they got too easily.” How we approach the hard things is the measure of a person.
I’m thinking of this for two reasons. First, I need to get off of my ass and go exercise. I haven’t been as diligent about exercise as I should be, though I’m trying.
Second, I recently received a communication from someone I don’t want to hear from or talk to very much. The easy choices were to ignore the communication or to respond in a faux friendly way…or to be really mean. The tough choice was to be firm but polite, to be honest about my feelings without crossing over into anger or rancor. I hope I accomplished that…certainly that was my intent and I took care to make sure that was the message.
Now I need to go and get some exercise…damn it.
