“What we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire but by what bad feelings we’re willing and able to sustain to get us to those good feelings…You can’t win if you don’t play.
Who we are is defined by the values one is willing to struggle for!”
– Mark Manson
"It's important to be aware of and appreciate the good times (or even just calm times).
Truly enjoy those moments because things can change in an instant and it's off to the next struggle. One never knows when that might occur."
Even Mother Nature Struggles.
The struggle for existence, space, growth, and light* is permanent and a necessary part of life.
*See “Enough of What” above
