The easy thing to do would be to do what you are supposed to do.

Go to school, get a stable job, buy a house with a picket fence, get married and have kids, Grow a middle aged paunch, live for the weekend. blah, blah, blah.

But, how many happy people do you know that do what they are “supposed” to do?

I want to be happy, healthy, and live to 120.

I don’t imagine that will be easy.

Guess what? Life is fucking hard.

It’s supposed to be!

You don’t grow by taking the easy way.

So, you have a choice.

You can do hard shit… Like exercise, eat healthy, etc,

And life will be easier.

Or:

You can do easy shit… Like sit on the couch and watch Netflix, stop at McDonald’s on the way home, etc, And life will be hard.

The world at large doesn’t give a crap about you, or your goals, or your progress. They just want you to take the easy way, like they did.

So, if you choose to break ranks and not do what you’re supposed to do, you better have a strong support system in place. Whether that’s a spouse, friends, a club, or even…
