Life is Difficult

Life is difficult.

It’s not supposed to be easy. 

An easy life is a small box with no light.

No room to grow. 

Life can’t be easy without challenges to contrast.

How can you know happy times?

When you don’t remember the sad ones?

Learn about yourself. 

Learn how to handle it.

Find the things you aren’t good at.

Make a conscious decision.


Everyone can. 

Write a goal.

No matter how small.

Clean your room. 

Clean one section of your room. 

Pick up one thing you see. 

If you can’t complete a goal.

Make it so you can. 

Get the ball rolling.

Give yourself momentum. 

Reward yourself and cross it off. 

Train your brain to do the things you don’t want to do.

The more challenging.

The easier everything becomes. 


Don’t feel sorry for yourself.

Nobody else is. 

You’ll thank yourself when nobody else did.

Hitting rock bottom can be a blessing. 

Nothing else to do but improve at a base level.

No universal solution. 

Only you can answer that question. 

Only you can understand.

In the end you can find a way.

No one else can make you. 


Life is a fact. 

It will keep going. 

Perspective.

Half full is half empty. 

Half filled and half spilled. 

Still just a glass with water. 

Fill it more, fill it less.

It won’t matter once you finish it.

We did this piece for our English class, and it was supposed to be about the true and false of life. So I figured I could talk about common misunderstandings about outlook on life.
